Residence Inn By Marriott Portsmouth

Hello,

I have an assignment for a tourism class and I have been asked to survey people who live on the island of Aruba. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) Number of years you’ve been on the island of Aruba
2) Are you working or retired?
3) Have you ever been involved in tourism related activities?(If so a brief explanation on your involvement).
4) What is your ...

... service.

We split the baby octupus in a delectable red sauce. Julie had the Seafood Risotto and I had the Chicken Puccini. We found EXACTLY what we were looking for. We toasted our gut instincts. While we exercise and endeavor to lose the extra pounds and lazy muscles that created a gut, we also embrace the power of our ability to go from the gut. And so a blog was born.

... during our trip we have to,

1. Cook dinner for a Swedish family
2. Get invited to dinner by a Swedish family
3. Take 2 Sweds out to dinner
4. Go to at least 1 community event, fair, gathering or protest
5. Walk/Run 20 miles a day

... hence the bobbing about. We have been getting sunny days but Autumn is approaching and the temperatures are dropping fast. Autumn colours in New Hampshire are a perfect picture.

Last night we could have been at home, we were watching a DVD and Tony was playing on his laptop (no change there then ...

... so decided just to snoop around Wells. Wells is a beach community with a small harbour, lots of tacky tourist shops, antique shops and some lovely summer homes. Our snooping did not take long.......we decided to spend the rest of the rainy day inside reading and watching TV.
The next day the weather had improved so we headed inland in a northerly direction. Our destination was Alfred and Sabbathday Lake where a Shaker Community ...

... silverware, not plastic like Bar Harbor! It was yummy!

Tomorrow it is down the coast to Boston, and our favorite restaurant, Durgin Park. If you haven't been there, Google it. It has been there since Columbus discovered Boston, and the list of celebrities that have eaten there covers the walls. It is no-frills and long picnic tables with butcher paper. It's kinda like Dick's last resort with history!

Be good to each other and stay dry.

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 ...

... port.  In search of a spot to watch for the dawn tomorrow we headed out towards the coast, to Rye, which seems to be quite a swanky neigbourhood – I suppose we are easy striking distance from Boston here – with vast Italianate villas on the cliffs above the ocean.  The beach I’ve picked faces due east and was packed with brave surfers this evening.  I should think we’ll be the only ones there at 5.07am tomorrow!

... up th**e. Am**ica is a land of extremes, so it came as no surprise that Geoff's 4.2-litre Chevy truck had the small engine block & I'm sure the oth** Chevy own**s secretly s******ed when he came past in his baby vehicle. This extreme-ness also applies to food...Th**e's no such thing as a small coffee or breakfast. You can get the Regular (Large), Grande (XXL) or the Full works ...
