Saturday

Today, the second day of the long weekend turned out beautiful. Started cool and dry in the morning but then it just got fantastic. Brilliant sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. Yesterday's mistakes are forgiven.

I had my car washed on Thursday and naturally it was raining right after the wash. But the rain was so hard that the car still looks as good as just after the bath.

Since all the Saturday chores were satisfied yesterday today we decided to go on a little longer trip.

There is a little place in Long Island called Port Jefferson. Lovely place, right on the water. More specifically on the North Sore of Long Island. One of its interesting items is that there is a ferry boat run between Bridgeport, Connecticut and Port Jefferson. Two big ferry boats run between these two points and it is always interesting to see when they arrive.

Compare to a cruise ship they are small but compared to the boats in the area they are huge.

Anyway, Port Jeff. is a cute and rustic little town with many good restaurants and shops. We had lunch in a seafood place that I knew from before. We ate there several times years ago and was always satisfied. This time we had fresh oysters and clams and fish and everything was really good.

After the late lunch walked around a bit, had some ice cream then back to the car and drove to Queens. Actually, took a slow and scenic road on the way back.

The ride was very pleasant. No traffic, no yo-yo drivers this time, and the sun still fairly high in the sky.

Fairly long day, fairly tiring but very enjoyable and worth every minute of it.
