when was the last time you saw the sunrise and the sunset in one day?

before a few weeks ago, the last time that i actually noticed that i was awake for both a sunrise and a sunset in the same day was in august 2004. i was driving back to the east coast from los angeles with liz, katherine, and durban, and i was driving through las vegas when the sun rose. we also saw the sun set before we pulled into breckenridge, colorado, where we were calling it a day, for the driving at least. for some reason, it was a truly memorable day.

at the end of september, tim and i went down to bristol, rhode island to sail with his parents for the weekend. on the first day of the trip, the boat was moving well before the sun came up--and we were anchored in the great salt pond in block island (which is surprisingly small, considering) to see the sun set. truly everyday events. but we hardly notice for the most part. i usually realize that the sun has risen when i can't see where i'm going because of the glare!

sunrise--bristol, ri

sunset--block island
