MIT WHOI PIcnic

I finally took an opportunity to go out and check out Woods Hole yesterday, joining in the MIT-WHOI afternoon picnic set up by GSC but mainly involving EAPS kids (and a surprising number of TPPers as well). We arrived by bus, ate some tasty grilled treats, played frisbee for a bit, then played a round of MIT v. WHOI kickball--which ended in a fitting tie--then finally headed over to the beach where we consumed some beer while chatting with the WHOI kids knee deep in the salty blue ocean. It was really a lot of fun, caught up a bit with "whoi dan" and generally had a great time under the hot sun.

I can understand now the appeal of living out there: quiet, serene, natural, with very easy gorgeous beach access in the summer time; the winter might be another story. But at the very least, clearly it's a contrast to the hectic city life, where there's always something to do to take up your time, of which you never seem to have enough.
