I realized today that I’m more relaxed than I’ve been in some time. 1.5 weeks into our vacation. And that even though I just finished driving up and down the auto road to the top of Mt. Washington. 6288 feet. Hairpin turns, 12% grade, no guard rails, above treeline. Yikes. But a glorious day on top. No wind, 55 degrees, sunny, views for miles and miles.
Also, just finished Steven Carter’s The Emperor of Ocean Park. If you like depressing stories, that one will do for you. Well written.

you took a depressing book to new england to read on vacation…okkkkkk….
well i hope when you come home you have some lighter reading ahead of you!
i don’t think i’ve ever driven up mt. washington. i think i was in a car in college that attempted it but we were afraid to go all the way to the top. i bet it was wonderful up there!!
so glad you feel rested, we all really need that time awaay to unwind, nature is especially good at doing that for us, and of course, new england is the best place to do it in 🙂
safe travels back
