Fernando, Me, Bella Chemie, Veronica, Bince

Fourth of July weekend was exciting as usual.

On Thursday we went to dinner and the theater- we saw Spamalot. There is something to be said about that kind of stupid humor. I like a good show now and then where it's just plain stupid funny. You don't have to think too much about things and you can laugh, escape and relax. Even the program was funny to read.

On Friday we didn't do too much, but did end up watching fireworks on the roof of Fernando's apartment in Queens. The apartment was becoming more of *our* place since I really hadn't left there since before our Utah trip. I'm sure Ill never leave now...he's stuck with me and my two doggies.

Saturday we headed out to Sag Harbor. I was excited to go for a number of reason, but most of all because I had never been to that part of Long Island and to the Hamptons and I have always wanted to go check it out. Fernando's family friends live there in the quaint town of Sag Harbor. They hosted a barbecue that day. I surprised everyone when I borrowed the accordion in the house and attempted to play! I do have to admit, I'm pretty rusty but I did manage to make it through one song.

All of the ladies at the party decided to show me around town after dessert. It was a cool little place with a boat harbor and fashion boutiques, as well as charming restaurants. But my most favorite part of our little excursion was seeing the marshland in the backyard of two of the ladies home (Jann and Jo). I felt like I was in a scene in a movie. It was so lush and swampy. It was too dark to take a picture or I would have shared.

I was happy to know that there are *real* people living in that area. Mostly all you hear about are the P Diddys and Paris Hiltons of the world partying it up and giving that area a big snob name. But not so! I met some truly wonderful people that day who could outdo in kindness and generosity.

My next places to tackle on Long Island...Beth Page Golf, Vineyards Touring, and Montauk. Watch out LI, here I come!


Billy Joel's House - really liked the Buoys!
