By the sea

What a beautiful day... I rode early, happy to be wandering on two wheels. But then... I had the urge (again!) to walk along the coast.

It was sunny and warm, a day when the beaches were likely to be quite crowded. I wanted a (somewhat) solitary walk, so I waited until 5:30 to leave home. I arrived at a favorite spot along the New Hampshire coast to find a quiet beach populated with other solitary walkers. The tide was heading out, so there was a wide swath of very walkable smooth sand.

Yes, I did get my feet wet. The water was actually quite warm.
