I spent the day lounging on the beach at Sandy Hook in New Jersey with my best friend; astonishingly this is the first time I've been to the beach all summer. A big, sandy beach (sans boardwalk/stores of any kind) is one of the places I could conceivably spend most of my time without complaint, and today was perfect because the water was refreshing, there was a nice breeze, and it wasn't too crowded.
On the way back from the beach my friend decided to stop at The Lusty Lobster and pick up some shrimp and clams for dinner. It was a small seafood vendor that smelled like fish and sold nothing that didn't come from the sea. These were the also the first clams I've had this summer, so it turned out to be a quintessential summer day that was exactly what I needed after so many weeks rat racing nonstop around NYC.
(I got a bit of a sunburn, so it turns out "Lusty Lobster" worked as a nickname as well as a new place).
