The
Sunday marches and protests filled the papers but aside from
the routes of the marches, the city seemed almost deserted in many
places. If you lived on the Upper East or West Side, you’d
have never known anything was going on in town unless you participated.
This is the last week of summer for New Yorkers and although people
were long before talking about getting out during the Republican
Convention to avoid any problems that some anticipated, it became
a good excuse, for those who could, to take an extra long holiday
weekend. And so they did. |

A
lazy Monday afternoon in Woods Hole, Cape Cod.

It
was also very hot and humid in New York. We headed for Cape Cod where my sisters live and where I used to come when I was a kid
growing up in Massachusetts. The drive is a long one from New
York (about four and a half hours) but a lovely one up through
Westchester and then across Connecticut up to the Mass Pike.
We
didn’t leave the hot and muggy weather behind – it
traveled quite nicely with us except for occasional showers scattered
in clusters measuring a hundred yards or so in length. By the
time we reached Woods Hole, the clouds had cleared, the breezes
booted in and the boats were coming back to their berths after
a lazy day out on the Nantucket channel. |
