Dearest Diary,

While Sister and I were able to take advantage of the coastal waters, the busy shores prompted us to depart sooner than expected. The remainder of the day was spent touring the markets and avoiding the occasional rains.

There is some preference for a short fishing excursion before departing tomorrow, however we are some of us reconsidering. I am beginning to anticipate the return to Ashford and I am growing quite eager for the reunion. Fishing or not, I shall return home at last on the morrow.

Dearest Diary,

I am fortunate to have arrived on the coast and am grateful for the conversation of my father on the journey. The task of delivering lectures at the University is decidedly less tedious than anticipated. Additionally, the inn in which we have settled for the evening seems to cater to many young chaps who are eager to assist in cleaning the tar from the shore. Though I admit to having resided in this bit of the country some time ago, I had forgotten that the gentlemen are unusually kind, if a little the worse for the sun. Nevertheless, I am delighted to have rediscovered it.

There are more lectures and another journey on the morrow...
