Or maybe it was the 14 and a half hours in the car.....
Looking at this..
Heck, I don't know for sure....
it is all a blurrrrrrrr at this point.
But I know one thing,
I was terribly road weary....
I had driven, ridden, ate, drank, daydreamed,
pottyed, laughed, yawned, mapped,
and consumed interesting views....
We had been in the car....forever.
I had begun to get really scared,
as I had been the one who insisted that we not stay in an
ordinary place. I had insisted that we should cruise down the
Delmarva peninsula, because I had not seen it in over
20 years.
What if this place was a pit (as in arm).
What if the "Psycho-dude" met us at the door of the
quaint little inn?
What if there were bugs in the cottage we had paid
extra for......
What if we were in fact lost...
14 and a half hours of driving will do that to a person.
A storm was threatening as we drove down the 5 mile long approach
road, I was envisioning unpacking the car in a lightening riddled downpour.
The middle-aged woman who met us in the entry hall was distracted, and busy...
waiting for another couple (crazy enough to pick the same place, maybe?)
Finally, she led us around the corner to the cottage.
The rain was holding off...
We hurried to get our bags in.....
took off our shoes....
and went out onto the screened in porch.......
and this is what we saw.....
It was golden...
surreal....
other worldly...
thick as honey...
humid as a steam shower....
and
it appeared to suspend reality...
we watched from the porch for a few minutes,
and then walked to the end of the freshly made dock...
I captured as much as my tired soul could handle...
I will post more,
but it was life changing for us both...
we had trusted at one point that it would be worth
the effort.
It was..
