Sunrise in Sandwich

Above: My college roommate Meggy brought her husband, Greg, and her tripod from Vermont. I’m so glad she thought of rising to see the sunrise. 

Other things we/I did today:

• Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters with Meggy. I had world’s best latte. Yum, so good. I had been to the Snowy Owl in Brewster, but the one here in Sandwich is bigger and better.
• Breakfast in Dan’l Webster Inn with Meg, Greg, Skipper. The latter had hash, which she learned to order up here on the Cape from her friend Nikki, who learned it from our friend Elly. This hash was made with prime rib!
• Beautiful walk with M, G and S on the boardwalk over the water and around the historic homes. Loved it. Over one hour. Unplugged, fresh. Deep breaths, fill soul.
• After I dropped Skippy off in Yarmouth to see her year-round Cape friend, and Meg and Greg broke away to see their friends who moved up here, I drove to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. I stopped on the way at Mac’s Seafood Shack in Eastham and got kale salad and 1/4 pound of delicious steamed lobster with a little cup of melted butter. I asked where it was caught. It’s from Provincetown, the young man behind the counter said, in between shucking clams. Can’t get more local than that. It was indeed tender and sweet.
• Short walk at Wellfleet Bay. Quiet, calming, beautiful vista.
• Drove to Chatham to see “Spencer,” about Princess Diana. Heavy issues, no pun intended, but excellent. The food and fashion views and the thread of mystery, fascinating. The music, too. A real period piece.
• Came back and sat by fire in the inn lobby. Talked a long time to Ralph and Nancy, who were groundbreaking physicists and world travelers but now older and more limited. They had just eaten dinner in the tavern (prime rib for him, fresh tuna for her).
• Had long chat with Sis on phone.
• Tried to get on daily Zoom support group but couldn’t get into West Coast 9:30 p.m. meetings so figured that was a sign to take night off. Morning group tomorrow.
• Ready to rest!
