Oct 5 - Day 3 Still in the same *#@!* town - Lewes Delaware

The sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean was so beautiful, that we just couldn't bear to leave our wonderful campsite on the ocean. (of course, I didn't actually 'see' the sunset, it was way over by the time I rolled out of bed at noon. I just 'heard' it was beautiful). Anyway, I decided today was going to be a short walk day, so it just didn't make sense to pack up the rig and move. No setting up a new campsite and yelling at Tony to back up... more left...more left...no no.. I meant right!

I started my walk today where I left off on the corner of Minos Conaway Rd (Rt 265) and Lewes-Georgetown Rd (US 9/DE 404) in Lewes De. I walked about a mile down Lewes-Georgetown Rd to Sweet Briar Rd. Took a right and walked to Caveneck Rd. Only walked 2.5 miles today on my lunch hour. Subbed on my daughters bowling team tonight which cut a big chunk out of my imaginary journey. Tomorrow if all goes well and I put in at least 3.5 miles I'll make it to the town of Milton, DE. So far on my journey, 12 miles down, a couple thousand more to go!

Finished "E" is for Evidence by Sue Grafton. Ann's rating is a B. The Sue Grafton alphabet series always get a B. The story is too simple for an A, but the writing is fun.

Started a new book, 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' by John Boyne. Description: Through the lens of an eight-year-old boy largely shielded from the reality of World War II, we witness a forbidden friendship that forms between Bruno, the son of Nazi commandant, and Schmuel, a Jewish boy held captive in a concentration camp. Though the two are separated physically by a barbed wire fence, their lives become inescapably intertwined. The imagined story of Bruno and Shmuel sheds light on the brutality, senselessness and devastating consequences of war from an unusual point of view. Together, their tragic journey helps recall the millions of innocent victims of the Holocaust.
