We woke up in NH to see on the TV news coverage of the attempted assassination of President Trump. Wow.

At breakfast, we asked a couple to join us. Found out that they are from Texas and were up to Maine to see relatives. We had an engaging conversation.

We took the long road to Henry and Vicki’s place. Hiway 202, that went through every small town in Maine. An absolutely beautiful ride. We stopped at a local park for our picnic. The sun was quite hot. We tried to do a letterbox but couldn’t find it.

We also stopped at a mom and pop’s ice cream shop. I chose black raspberry and Glenn chose coffee ice cream.

Henry and Vicki grilled chicken along with corn and green salad. Delicious. We loved recounting old Bolivia days. We worked with the Coopers in Bolivia from 1986-2000. And their son, Ben and our Gary were best friends going through elementary school .

We continued on our journey to the Stroud’s home in Knox, Maine. And we arrived here just after sunset and just at the beginning of the big soccer game. I fell asleep upstairs while Glenn stayed downstairs and watched the game.

Maine is just beautiful dotted with all these small ponds and lakes.Read more
