Just spoke to Julie. I couldn't join her today. She walked for 3 hours. I think she earned that glass of wine we're going to have at 6. O'clock or number of glasses? I forgot to clarify.

Our journey began on Sunday. We did our first 6 miles, drove to Andover to shop at Whole Foods and got on a road lined with pizza shops and chain restaurants. Julie said, "we're going to find the best ...

... Second only to Kittery, Maine, Freeport has the largest collection of factory outlet stores. The outlet stores are unlike any other factory outlet mall. They are in upscale shops some of which are located in old Victoria homes. McDonald's is located in an remodeled Victorian farmhouse. We went into
LL Bean's, a New England based company, which is very popular with New Englanders. This is the parent store which is open 24 hours per day ...

joan, jeanne, and Bobo drove up from north hampton to meet us to celebrate joanie's birthday. it was so much fun and delicious (thank you tim!).

we docked The Surrender at portsmouth harbor (in NH) but drove across the bridge to kittery, maine to spend the night for a family sleep over at the Enchanted Nights. it had character, that is for sure (and they allowed dogs.)

after sailing in more rain, we were greeted with a wonderful dinner by Rick and the 1st shower of the trip (in Jane's fantastic outdoor shower). i still felt like i was rocking at the table but at least i was dry (and now clean).

the next day was beautiful (finally!) and we walked around the picturesque town of ...

... make his bike work with one gear only. Thank heaven that Sean is a strong rider and the gear he has was one of the more stout on the chain ring. Hence he had one speed and it turned into a speed little finish. We all still waited at the Rye Junior High to assemble so we could all go together with the police escort to the beach and ceremoniously dip our front wheel into the Atlantic and ...

This turned out to be perhaps the most beautifully presented museum we have ever seen. Highlights included a 200 year old Chinese home moved and reconstructed in the museum from China and an amazing collection of nautical art from New England. Again, we wore out before we could really take the whole place in. Salem is great but much ...

Oh boy-- I have been wanting to go to this place since the first time I heard its name a year or two ago. FINALLY we went this Sunday! Yow!!! And we were not disappointed. Since we were going to the Arundel Rt. 1 outdoor flea market, we decided to drive south a little further on the turnpike and finally breach the defenses of this fantastic dining establishment. We knew as soon as we saw the giant vintage "TOAST" lettering on the back of the building that ...
