When I awoke, it was late Sunday morning and John was gone. He'd stripped the bed and left a pile of musky smelling sheets. I'm sure he had to hike a few extra miles to get me out of his system! <<<<>>>> I don't know about for all of you down in the chilly Bay Area, but up here the weather was really nice Saturday. So nice, in fact, that it encouraged me to engage in another of my exploits. Not that I planned it, of course. I packed a lunch and headed for the river, the afternoon being just too hot, even for mint juleps in the back yard. There was some barbecued chicken and a couple of Calistogas in the fridge, so I threw them into the cooler with some ice, pulled on a swimsuit and covered it with some other clothes, grabbed a towel and a book, and left. I have this favorite unnamed spot by the river, sandy but not too populated. You have to know the river roads to find it and I guess that even though it's a pretty good beach not too many people know about it. That's an advantage of being a local. When I parked I knew by the absence of other cars that there were very few other people there, and when I walked onto the beach I found one couple near the trail back to the cars, another couple far down the beach, and this one guy about halfway down. I'm not terribly shy, and decided to have a bit of fun. He saw me coming and I saw him looking me over. I'm not Fawn Hall, but I get my share of admiring looks; this was apparently one of them.
