Happy Birthday, Kelly

today Kelly turns 27. Hard to believe so many years have gone by. while she is camping in a very rustic cabin in Vermont, bob and I have stayed in a wide range of accommodations. there are so many cottages in this part of the U.S. You never see them in such numbers farther south or west. we stayed in one "executive cottage" that was a study in brown - wood panelling, rugs, bedspreads, with no a.c. Yuck. This was oOn the hottest days that were in the 90s. The "homemade breakfast" consisted tiny dry muffins and bagels that were just taken out tof the freezer. Bad Tripadvisor! Then we stayed at a lovely cottage with a.c., a jacuzzi, fabulous breakfast, and great pub. today it's back to the 1950s with this very camp-like setting on Lake Winnipesauki. yesterday we went to Glen Ellis Falls, another beautiful riparian (i sound like Hyacynth Bouquet, don't I?) setting with waterfalls, pools and giant rocks. bob took a zip line at Wildcat Mountain and then rode the gondola to the top with me. Tonight was turkey dinner at Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant after we toured the American Police Motorcycles Museum. the APMM turns out to be a museum full of old Indian and Harley Davidsons because those are the cycles that policemen have used most. oh, also there was a Vespa that police used in the 60s. That was a surprise. we stopped there specifically to take photos for Mark, who has a 46 Indian. I'll post pics of me on a 1948 Indian police motorcycle. Hart's is a family restaurant in Meredith NH that has been in business since 1954. they serve a ton of turkey a day! the place was packed on a Monday so that claim may be true. tomorrow we go to Castle in the Clouds.
