Montauk
I’ve got up early in the morning and I was traveling to the very end of Long Island. I was here once before, but I thought why not to come again. So it was a good day, sunny, not too hot, not too cold, just
perfect.
When I arrived to Montauk lighthouse Ive parked. Across the parking lot, there is a restaurant that you can sit inside or outside. Of cores I choose outside so I can see the ocean while eating. In good weather
you can see Block Island, or Connecticut trough Long Island Sound. I was walking to the beach, I did not care about the lighthouse today, because it’s closed from public and its cost you to get in without able to go into the lighthouse, its just makes no sense anymore. From here I was driving to Sag Harbor, but on the way to there I stopped at Amagansett square to pick up some food to eat. I was in a cheese shop, then I set in a restaurant to eat. Once I arrived to Sag Harbor I was parking and walking around. I found a few interesting thing beside the many cool stores that opened here, one of them is the Dukes Fordham’s Inn. Unfortunately the hotel is destroyed by fire in 1845, but a plaque still shows the historic event, that James Fenimore Cooper penned his first novel right on this place, Precaution, while awaiting the return of the whale ship , Union, in which, he owned shares along with his uncle , local cooper, Edward Cooper. Precaution was not a best-seller, but it and Cooper’s proceeds from the Union encouraged his further writings, which culminated in
The Last of the Mochicans.
When I finished with Sag Harbor, I got into the car and drove to Cedar Beach. Here you can find a little learning trail, at Mount Sinai Harbor. Its just a little bit eat from Port Jefferson. This trail is very cute, on
the Long Island Sound. A wooden walking path takes you around not to ruin the nature around you. You can see fauna like Seaside Goldenrod, Dusty Miller, Prickly pear cactus, Wild Black Cherry, Beach Pea or Salt Spray Rose. If you harvest it you can make jam or tea out of it its very healthy. If you lucky you can see birds like Cardinal, Mocking bird, Herring Gull Song Sparrow, piping plover, or song sparrow. Off the trail there is The Giving Tree, and you can find painted stones with messages on it, and the tree has gift on it, belts and so on. You can walk all the way to the beach where ive met a couple of deers.I really wanted to step by Port Jefferson as well, but it was getting dark and I chose to get home and have a cup of hot tea.
As soon as she had made out the proper way of nursing it, (which was to twist it up into a sort of knot, and then keep tight hold of its right ear and left foot, so as to prevent its undoing itself,) she carried it out into the open air. “If I don’t take this child away with me,” thought Alice, “they’re sure to kill it in a day or two: wouldn’t it be murder to leave it behind?” She said the last words out loud, and the little thing grunted in reply (it had left off sneezing by this time). “Don’t grunt,” said Alice; “that’s not at all a proper way of expressing yourself.”
The baby grunted again, and Alice looked very anxiously into its face to see what was the matter with it. There could be no doubt that it had a very turn-up nose, much more like a snout than a real nose; also its eyes were getting extremely small for a baby: altogether Alice did not like the look of the thing at all. “But perhaps it was only sobbing,” she thought, and looked into its eyes again, to see if there were any tears.
