Back to the Beginning

October 19, 2012, with a send-off by my good neighbor David I took RIPTA to Providence and the 'T' up to Boston for chance to say goodby to my friend Cindy from Women's Caucus for Art, and Lisa formerly from  the Redwood Library. LIsa treated me to lunch at the Isabell Staurt Gardner Museum where she is now archivist, then a quick tour. Then I was free to wander about and revisit favorites. I enjoyed the sense of patterns so prevelant in the museum. A foreshadowing of the wonders of Moracco. It became clear that first day that my 're-purposed' backpack was not going to do the job. The straps were too wide apart and not padded, so off I went to the Northface store and bought a small pack that fit and distibuted the weight on my hips as well as padded shoulder straps sized to fit a woman. It is dusty pink and has done it's job  so far. I checked the weight at  the airport and it was 5.5 pounds, my purse was 2.5 pounds.

Just stopped for a dip in the  pool.
