then what happened? did one of the friends turn out to be an axe murderer??

........And this is how Tito found himself in Blatimore, a place where he had never been before.......

The cottage was a lovely place with floor to ceiling windows on two sides. One side facing the ocean and one side facing an empty lot which was half unpaved parking lot and half grass with a large gazebo like structure clearly for piknik or things of the sort.
On the left hand side of the cottage was a nice house with a fancy garden all decorated with a row of plastic swans in the front siting there as if they were guarding the lawn and preventing the invasion of the lovely green grass by the sandy salty water of the ocean..this of course and the ancestral looking horse shoe crabs!

The friends were delighted to finally meet each other and as they were coming from far away places and had travel long and far to see each other the exchange of news, presents and even hugs for some of them was a pleasant affair that lasted well into the first night.
