My recovery continues, thanks to the help of some great friends. This past week we spent some time in Brewster, on Cape Cod, with our long-time compadres Sue N and Linda D at Sue's vacation condo. We passed the time reading, shopping, and dining out. We also took a moment to wish Happy Birthdays to our treasured long-time colleagues Val D and Dave A.
Back to the Cape! There, our favorite haunt was a snazzy restaurant in picturesque Chatham named the "Impudent Oyster", where Linda's nephew serves as the head chef. The man must be incredibly talented, as it would be impossible to match the terrific lunch we enjoyed at this classy eatery. No trip to Chatham would be complete without a visit to the lighthouse there, and time to stop and gaze at the dramatic ocean view on the point.
Back at the condo we enjoyed a dinner purchased and arranged by Sue and Linda after a visit to "Whole Foods", off I-495 exit 18 near Franklin, along side the highway to the Cape. It's no wonder this natural foods chain is growing leaps and bounds, for the meal was wonderful. Afterwards, Linda, a strong proponent of natural healing, gave my poor neuropathy-damaged feet a welcome, calming rub-down with aromatic oils, after which I felt I could have through-hiked the Appalachian Trail. I think Linda should set herself up in business. The oils are highly odoriferous, the only way, I'm sure, Linda could bear to approach my feet after my spending the day "on the hoof."
During the evening, Donna tutored Sue on the plotlines and characters of the hit TV show "Glee" while viewing this week's episode. The next evening, we watched the Woody Allen film "Vicki, Christina, Barcelona" while my well-traveled bride filled in the blanks on Spanish culture and geography.
Making this trip even more enjoyable for all of us was the realization that we were missing the devastating monsoon and power-outages that we learned in real time our friends back home were living through. Our vacation was well-timed.
And thanks to Sue and Linda, a great healing experience.
