Dec. 27th, 2011 11:00 pmFor our first hike we went to the State Park by the Lighthouse. We walked along the beach and went on the rocks for a bit. I was hoping to see some seals but they stayed away mostly. Still, really beautiful scenery. I did have a little headache that spoiled the mood just a little but I didn’t let it get to me too much. It seems like Advil is my very best friend this week.
National Geographic article on King James Bible was brilliant. I have a poster with many phrases that came into English from Shakespeare, which we quote every day. But the King James Version gave us so many phrases too, which we don’t even think about. That would be a fine poster too. I love the evolution of language. My brain clearly needed a rest since it took me way too long to connect that this a, article is out now since in 2011 it is 400 years since the King James Bible was published. Also, to look up one of the Bible passages, it was easy to just look in the hotel shelves since there is always a Bible around there, a fact I still find very amusing.
Bear made lunch and I made most of the dinner. We got sausages and I cut up onions, zucchini and pepper and all that mixed with tomato sauce plus pasta. And viola, dinner for two nights.
I called my grandmother to wish her a happy 82nd birthday.
I also skimmed the Stephen Fry book – can’t wait to read it in detail. I love his prose style and use of words. I was sitting by the hotel fireplace in the lobby; you can just sink into the couches there - so comfy.
