The final countdown.

Alden has one more week in the United States of America.  He is spending it on Cape Cod, MA.  It is pretty rough.  

Yesterday: Alden drove to Cape Cod with a trunk full of booze, fireworks, and an unregistered firearm. (Two of those three might be illegal in MA.) Arriving mid-afternoon, Alden quickly grabbed a drink, set up the hammock, and napped with his new 8 week-old puppy sleeping on his belly.  There was a slight breeze coming off the pond.  It was rough.

Today: More hammock, puppy, and napping.

One week of this should have Alden rested and ready for two months in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.  Get excited people.
