My last, and by now very hot, day did come and it was time to say goodbye, Linda & Phil, see you next time!
One final look at the lake …
… and my home away from home
… and I was off, into 100 degree plus the farther I got south.
On the way, I stopped to pick up some lunch at my tea dealer, Harney & Sons Fine Teas, in Millerton, N.Y. There they have a store, with a tasting room, a gift shop, and a nice little tea room, where they serve healthy and tasty sandwiches, and iced Chai. The latter kept my going until I was home, where I barely escaped – by a couple of street blocks – a power failure caused by the excessive temperatures.
So back to reality. With all the great music going on, the students having a ball, the rest of us enjoying ourselves, it was often easy to forget the horror that is going on half a globe away…
