Top: Fire Island (last Friday)
Bottom: Central Park East - 8:00am

Good morning!  Sorry for the late post today and for missing Friday.  Sarah and I went to Fire Island last Friday to enjoy her last full day with us.  The top 2 pics are Fire Island (which is a small island near Long Island).  The pictures don't really do it justice, it was a very pretty place.  There are no cars allowed so it's just connected circuits of small boardwalk-style trails.  This made it both very quaint, but also very difficult to navigate.  We wandered the island all day long, got tan (or pink, as the case may be), and finally scrounged up some food at the Kismet Inn.  We were starving by the end of the day so we sucked down the worst margarita we'd ever had (tasted like straight sea water), then played it safe with bud lights and local caught blue fish with mashed taters and summer squash.  That part was really good.  We also happened to stumble upon a nude gay beach, which was entertaining.  We could neither stop giggling nor staring.  It only became more awkward when a portly, tan guy told us we looked like Julia Roberts.  Hey man, you can say that all you want, but I'm not stripping down to get weird in nature with you.  It was a wonderful day. 

It was back to business as usual this morning.  Back to doggies in the Park.  It's so hot, you should see them now.  They are literally sacked out near my feet as we speak.  Too hot for little hairy doggies. 

Have a wonderful day, friends!
