The “holiday” truly begins as the girls get in some beach time. A chance encounter with a cute boy triggers a workmare for Julie, while a walk and some beachcombing leads to a discussion about “The Force” and of keeping the channel clear…

Spontaneous fun and games. A stop at the market for provisions shows the girls letting their hair down in an unusual way.

The ladies hit the road. A little singing… A little storytelling… and something about how “Lucy” became a source of bonding for Gayle and Fran.

A workmare invades Julie’s mind and triggers some anxious moments. Gayle diffuses things with the toss of a towel and a redirect — it’s off to Grandma’s house they go.

Coffee, an introduction to “Is” thinking and a run… The first full day in Portland starts off on the right foot.
