  LAST DAY ON BLOCK ISLAND July 26th 2925 5:49 Ready for our morning walk as a family. Toolman path A little sad to leave this place tomorrow  2 egg sandwiches and 2 coffees at Aldo's, 25$.  We need to go back to work. Our frienddy neighbors from across the dock, Scott and Alyson from Chester, CT, are leaving. Bye guys! Maybe we'll meet again. We take a picture of them. They take one of us. (Claudie, Lenore, Emilio, Scott) Last time on Coast Guard Beach. Watching the boats go by There's so many different kinds.  I would be curious to see the inside of that one. Last walk to the west. The only Nordic we saw all 2 weeks. Our dream.... maybe not that big. Last dinghy ride. Jumping off the roof.
