Still in Newport. Yesterday was spectacular weather. I got up at 6:00 to run cliff walk this morning. It was overcast so the water was not as sparkely and blue as the days when the sun shines. The ocean here changes every day. Yesterday there was swell and lots of surfers, today nothing. I love Newport for it's tiny cobblestoned streets, bricked in sidewalks, flowerbox windows, whitesteepled churches, and a harbor filled with sail boats. I ran easily today, first the cliff then a little around town. I had to get back to have breakfast with the friends who are leaving back to New York today, and my sister who also leaves for DC this afternoon. I am sad my vacation is ending. Sad to say goodbye to my sis. But we had a long good visit over these past 2 weeks. I wish however that the music festival would not be the last of my vacation. It's bittersweet to see my my good friends who I crave to see all year and then also have to say 'goodbye' in the same breath. Regardless, it's been a really good long vacation, and I have decompressed completely. I feel healed and strong, and pretty ready to get back to the business of real life.....in a few more days. I really, really, really miss my kids. It's been 6 days since they went home to Utah from South Carolina. I guess that's a good thing to miss them.
