Sunday
Our next flight got us to Manchester, New Hampshire early afternoon, where we were met by Jay and Linda, who housesat for us while we were in France in 2005. They live in a lovely area, near the village of Cambridge, 10 miles from Concord! The countryside is so pretty; they took us for a drive late afternoon to Shaker Village – built in the early 18th Century for the Shakers (Google them!); Jay and Linda are involved in restoring each building to its original function and condition back then – a really fascinating walk back in time.
Today, Monday, we took a drive north into Vermont (another state to add to our list!); we crossed Squam Lake, where they filmed On Golden Pond, part of Winnepesaukee Lake, the biggest in New Hampshire. Then we headed for Dartmouth, where Jay was head administrator at the College. What a huge campus! We met some of the staff and drove around the campus; had lunch at a great little cafe. Back home through New London and some other lovely little villages. How surreal! driving through the pretty Vermont countryside, with country music on the stereo. A lovely day!
