On Friday night we had a terrible thunderstorm and many counties in NJ lost power. Thankfully, we have friends in the neighboring town that have a pool (but also no power). So an impromptu barbecue was in order. The weather was scorchingly hot but a dip in the pool made everything more tolerable.
My sister-friend shared pictures of tall ships celebration as they were passing Sandy Hook. From what I understand, a variety of countries sent their tall ships to the US to celebrate its 250th (nations).
The sunset is crazy due to the impending storm: the exact storm that made us lose power for three days.
From Friday night till Monday afternoon, when we had to leave for the airport, we were climbing walls, trying to stay cool, and just playing a waiting game. The power came back on Monday evening.
Thankfully, my husband hooked up the generator so we had electricity for the essentials: refrigerator, phones, and two fans. So at least we could get KIND of an okay night sleep. The heat was suffocating.
Oh and we did laundry – we connected the washing machine to the generator and washed clothes before the trip. But the drier did not like the generator hence drying our clean laundry outside.
I will leave you with one picture from Venice: a big, beautiful, orange cat that lives at the apartments. I mean… ROYALTY!
