Location: New Hampshire/Maine
On Monday evening I met my good friend/new roommate Rachel Berryman in Newton, Mass for the beginning of our tour-de-New England.
Yes, some of you have commented/asked. What is the facination with New England? Don't most people want to tour Europe? Or road trip out west?
I'm not quite sure what the initial facination and thoughts were....but part of me wants to see if I could make it in this part of the country....but another part of me just wants to find out what life is like here or what people are like.....or what its like to live in a small state that needs to find identity in something.....yea that's just my blabbing, I don't know, I'd never been this far north, so whatever.
So Monday we had dinner in Wellesley with a girl Rachel went to Prauge with.
Tuesday we headed into Maine, saw a light house, walked a rocky beach/Marginal, Way in Ogonquit(sp?), saw some cute shops, and ended out at Kennybunkport, George Bush's summer home (furthers North to date....and it came with a Texas Flag!)
Wednesday we went to the White Mountains in Northern New Hampshire, hiked for 3 or 4 hours, saw lots of waterfalls, and took a scenic drive on the Kankamangus Highway across the park area (would be beautiful in the fall, with leaves), and contemplated sliding on rocks. We ended off with some "Yankee Barbeque," a bit of an odd choice but alright nonetheless.
Thursday we had another beachy day in Portsmouth, NH. We first had some blueberry pie, wandered around a cute downtown area.....then sat out at the beach for a couple of hours. We got in the water for a few minutes and came out numb.....water, maybe 60 degrees?
In the inbetween, we've been staying with her great family in Dover, New Hampshire....they feed us and let us sleep in their home....and they're great travel agents too! It's been great to spend time with a family and feel included in that too.
The summer of hospitality never ends........well especially when you spend you life bumming from one person's porch to the next.
