Day Out :: A Stroll


On a weekend stay at my hosts' estate near Mar del Plata, I slept a solid 9 hours. The rest was much needed. When I woke, the sunshine and weather were gorgeous for a picnic. There was some work to be done, but not too much. I could get some solitude and quiet out there.

After a huge lunch, there was no way the stomach could do tea. I had to reject the housekeeper's kind offer of sandwiches to accompany my afternoon stroll. I took a walk around the estate, sat in the shade with a cardigan, a bottle of water and a magazine. There were NO MOZZIES. Hurrah! The air was crisp and cool. I read till the shadows lengthened and the light faded. Those were a couple of hours when I could relax a little.
