Wanted a little break from driving so we stopped at the Old Orchard Beach - near Portland Maine. It was on the Atlantic Ocean and was very picturesque. The Billow House Inn was located right on the beach. Very Beautiful and serene place.
Arrived back in New Hampshire about 1:00. We are only about 15 miles from Boston. Interesting to see a state liquor store and a place to buy lottery tickets right on the toll road. (Mike, I don't think we are in Utah anymore)
Made it to Massachusetts. We took an exit about 20 miles from Boston to go potty and kind of got lost. We stopped at a gas station that was by a garage. We asked the girl at the convenience store how to get back to the freeway and she didn't know, so we went to the garage to ask. There were 2 guys, a girl, and a white dog with blue eyes (the dog really impressed me). They had all kinds of advice on where to stay and even went so far as to look up hotels on the internet for us. They suggested we stay in the area and take the train to downtown Boston. We went to the hotel they recommended, but it was booked up. We asked the girl at the desk for a recommendation and she went the extra mile and called another hotel for us and gave us directions. Once we found it, we were able to check in. Some very nice people in Massachusetts!!!!
Today we drove 191 miles.
