The next day, we headed out
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040048
past the ad for the Elvis impersonator
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040049
to Mellon's
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040050
home of the sticky buns
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040051
with the big promise
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040052
that were delivered by these girls
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040053
from Media.
Next we went to the bagel shop next door where they were
celebrating the 4th
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040054
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040055
in grand style. We checked out the menu
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040056
but didn't want to ruin our appetites so we had Benjamin do the flag thing
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040057
took a picture of this bumper sticker
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040058
and then ran into these wonderful children
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040059
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040060
having a holiday parade.
Back at home, as the time passed,
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040061
Jane and Lucy rested
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040062
and then got ready to move
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040063
even though the day was gloomy.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040064
But time passed
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040065
so we watched Rikki
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040066
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040067
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040068
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040069
encourage people to get out of their Mom's house. And then we got settled at the beach
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040070
as Suzanne read the Bernstein guide to Paris
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040071
and Lucy and Jane gathered shells.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040072
All of this digging
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040073
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040074
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040075
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040076
led to these conch shells with live animals in them
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040077
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040078
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040079
and this crab
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040080
so that we roamed the beach looking for more
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040081
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040082
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040083
until it was time to return for reading.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040084
and Michael and Caroline
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040085
could discuss publishing English research to the amusement
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040086
of Suzanne. The digging resumed
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040087
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040088
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040089
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040090
and we made a sign
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040091
warning people away from our masterpiece.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040092
It was time for regrouping
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040093
The digging continued beyond the pier
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040094
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040095
and back
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040100
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040103
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040104
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040106
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040107
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040109
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040110
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040111
leading to good treasures
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040096
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040097
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040098
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040101
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040102
that were enjoyed by all
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040099
as the conch
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040105
dried up
and we got ready to put the sea rice
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040108
back home.
The next excursion began a little later
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040112
as we made our way to Hoy's
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040113
where we took our obligatory phone booth picture
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040114
and worried about poor Joe.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040115
Suzanne modeled for us
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040116
in Hoy's and we left to see this fine ad
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040117
for tutoring.
The only thing better than Benjamin's dinner
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040118
were these crayons
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040119
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040120
he won at the arcade much to the delight of the neighbors.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040121
The meal was exquisite with
mozzarella, basil and tomatoes,
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040122
roasted vegetables,
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040123
zucchini rice,
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040124
asparagus rice,
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040125
and leftover fish.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040126
Sadly it was departure time, so Caroline
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040127
took the first picture
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040128
followed by Suzanne.
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040129
This is (more or less)
../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040130
what they saw.
