No alarm, well at least I didnt set one but Jerry did. Even without an alarm I still woke up at 6:00 am, but instead of getting up and looking forward to 9+ hours in front of working, I turned over petted Tarragon and went back to sleep. I didnt wake up again until Jerrys alarm went off at 8. I might have kept sleeping but for that alarm.
It was good that we got up, since the continental box breakfast was only served until 9. I washed my face, rinsed my mouth with some Listerine and walked to the main office to pick up our coffee and box breakfast. The humidity was already high and I was drenched by the time I got to the office. I was the only one picking up at that time, so it didnt take long. I walked back to the room and set out our breakfast. While I ate, I finished yesterdays blog entry. The box contained an apple, nice and crunchy, a yogurt; cream cycle flavor; an overcooked boiled egg and a Costco muffin. The coffee was decent, luke warm but decent.
ball apparel and headed for the grass for a few matches. It was a partly cloudy day, no breeze and very humdid. We could have dealt with all that just fine, we had plenty of water, but the bugs were just two much, swarming around our face, nats, so no biting but annoying none the less. We still managed two full matches. I won, the second only by a couple of points.
After our match, we really needed to cool down, so we headed for the pool. We first went to the office to pick up the pool towels and fill up our ice chest with ice, so our Rose and White Wines would stay cool. Then back to the room, quick shower to prepare for the pool. There was only two other people in the pool, normally on a summer day (non covid times) I am sure the pool would be packed and too many children. This however was perfect as we basically had the pool to ourselves, as the mother and daughter stayed at one end and us at the other. They did get out and then we had the entire pool to ourselves.
was lunch in the room. We had stopped in a store in Sharon on the way up and purchased some, meats, cheeses and crackers. I laid out our feast and poured a nice bottle of Sancerre. After lunch we took a short drive back to Salisbury to get some more bottled water. The market had a line, only let 25 people in at a time and took your temperature before you could enter. We were in and out fairly quickly.
Back at the room, we took Tarragon out for a bit of fresh air. So, on his collar and leash went and outside we went. He didnt seem to enjoy it to much, a bit overwhelming, I guess. It was a short experience. The rest of the day we have just been relaxing in the room, it has been raining for the last 2 hours, might be a hitch in outdoor dinning for dinner tonight. I am exhausted. It is either all the sun, activity and fresh air, or I did not realize exactly how much stress I have been under lately. In any event I took a quick disco nap with the cat and am a bit
Currently we are getting ready for dinner. In case we cant eat there, we have already decided what we want and will just do take out and eat in the room. That way we can at least have wine with dinner. Its been a pretty short and relaxing day. Tomorrow is much the same, except we are going to try our hand at a bit of canoeing. Hope it goes better than the Kayaking in Thailand, I couldnt stay up right.
Dinner tonight was at The Boathouse a Sushi bar and American bistro. Sushi seems to be a big thing here, why I dont know because they are not near the sea and you dont make Sushi out of trout. That isnt why we chose this restaurant; we did because the menu looked good. Well looks can be deceiving. I was excited because Friday and Saturdays are prime rib night, and I love a good prime rib. We didnt know if we would even get seated because of the rain and the website said that is all they had given Covid.
