Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont

Travelled the Interstate for a couple of hours to make time. Hit two toll roads for road improvements, something we don't see at home because our higher taxes cover that. New Hampshire was impressive with curvy roads, lazy rivers and lanes with trees that touch at the top forming a green tunnel. GPS only got us lost briefly once and took us to an old covered bridge. Much better than yesterday's garbage dump. 30 degrees in the shade so we stopped often and found Concord and Keene, where the old city centers were architecturally fascinating and typically American. Flags, town squares, old brick hotels and shops, proud high schools with huge sports fields and grand stands, town library and town hall. Old mansions and new developments. In Keene by the town square Jumanji was filmed (Robin Williams). Must watch the movie again to see what I recognize. Met Brian and Bernadette who told us that while we shared a coffee. They also helped us navigate our way to Vermont from Keene, which was like figuring out a maze. Good day.
