Tues 6 May

Yesterday was a very nice day. Weather was a little overcast and damp early, but we had breakfast at the White Gull and took care of the shopping so it didn't really matter. I bought a beautiful pair of shoes I hadn't planned on, but I love them. They are black leather Mephisto flats that will look well with casual or dressy and are very comfortable, even walking long distances. We bought our annual State park sticker and got a short hike in at Peninsula in the later afternoon when the sun came out. We did lunch at the cookery and dinner at Villagio's, an Italin place in Juddville we had always meant to try. Some of the places we wanted to eat aren't yet open for the season, but plenty of optiins are still available. Plans today are breakfast at the White Gull and much more hiking to take advantage of the sunshine.
