A day off at Caspian Lake



Things started nicely with sleeping in until after 7 (for Steve anyway). Patricia was up early having mate. The weather is clearing as the hurricane effects weaken. About 60 in the morning topping out at 72 with partly cloudy skies. A gentle breeze from the southeast.

We went in to town to buy groceries with Lucy and use the free WiFi in front of the library. Doug was throwing pots in his studio behind the main house. He is continuing the line of butterfly designs started with Patricia’s 50th birthday present 

Drinks are at 5:30. Very nice beer and wine and appetizers with Lucy’s sister and her husband next door. The sky is clearing and the moon is approaching full. The lake looks very peaceful. It’s so civilized off the bike!

The punctured tubes have been patched, chains and pedals are cleaned and lubed from the rain, and tires are all at 90 PSI ready for the run to Boston starting on Tuesday.

Patricia is back in triathlon mode, swimming a few miles in the 68 F lake with Lucy and doing a 5 mile run around the lake. Such a relaxing day, eh? We had lattes from Doug’s machine imported from Tucson this afternoon, very very nice.

Is it cooling off in Tucson yet?

  1. No it's not. The clouds just build and sit there doing nothing.

    Bob says you guys are suffering way too much.
