Muzz tomorrow, Joyce yesterday.
Had a loverly dinner at Muzz's last night to celebrate.
Chris and Galia arrive Wed for more parties as the McGuires and Nannigs converge on RI.

Went to a Red Sox game on Thursday- Jas here is keeping score for me and Abby.  It was great.  They played Arizona, and won 8 to 4.  Meanwhile, the Celtics were involved in some epic struggle- not sure what that was all about.

It's fun to be at Muz's and see everyone passing through.  Bridget and Pips are home from school, Jas and Kate, Meg, Doug and Elle, Mark Pierce on his way to Virginia, Chris Rider.  We spent the weekend hanging out, doing exotic things like grocery shopping and reading the paper.  Weather is as illustrated above.

Day 44

Block Island

When we first came into the harbor yesterday, there was a powerful smell of beach roses- they're everywhere.  We went for a walk this afternoon, left the dinghy on the beach.  It's a very quiet place, the only activity around the ferries.  Some t-shirt and ice cream places starting to ramp up for the summer, and a few tourists.
