We are now in the midst of our first "one week in one place" on the shores of a small lake near Rochester, NH. We arrived during a rainy Tuesday evening and the weather is now a lot cooler than it had been a few days ago. Yesterday, I spent the day "veg'd" out - either watching TV, organizing a few things or napping. Geoff spent the day puttering around including getting out his old Radio Controlled (RC) car that. much to his delight, still works.
Geoff is really embracing the camping part of this experience - the mud, bugs and campfires - whereas I'm still not sure how those aspects of our travel fit into my view of RV living. I have more of a vision of the RV travels as a moving motel room.
One thing we both want to do is to have some "local" experiences in each of the places we visited. So, today we decided to have breakfast out...we drove around a bit trying to find a local place and then asked a guy on the street who pointed us towards "Froggies Breakfast Place" which was filled with frog collectables and a hearty breakfast menu. Another local experience is coming this weekend - the Rochester Fair.
We're now at the library using the free WiFi - a special treat for me since I always love spending time in libraries and spending more time in them is on my retirement "To Do" list.
This afternoon, we expect that we'll be going kayaking on the lake. It will be our first time to kayak right were we're staying without the need of mounting them on the car rack.
