Today Caitlin is to leave. We spent our last day together touring the west side of Narragansett Bay and sitting on a rock jetty eating lunch from a small roadside stand. Caitlin is such a wonderful, competent person with an excellent grasp of reality. Our talks were filled with discussions of family and global concerns. I’m so proud of her. I am so blessed.
At two o’clock she loaded her small pack into the VW and we drove the 45 minutes to the Providence airport and as quickly as it began six days before, it ended and I was alone again on Ron’s Circle Tour.
When I returned to the park, everyone one was in a festive mood; party lights and campfires; food tables and lawn games. At dusk I thought I would walk down to the small hill in the park that had a trail to its flat top. It would give a good view of the local fireworks. Everyone else had the same idea so I quickly joined the fifty plus folks on the top and contributed to the merrymaking. Every small town on the bay was trying to out do the other. For 180 degrees fireworks filled the air. I was not alone.
