You know how you have to clean your home. Well when your car is your home it needs to be vacuumed, dusted and have the trash taken out. Especially when you go to the beach.
We don't have a home, but we do. The local Marriott. We've stayed at 6 now and they look the same with a bit of variation on a theme. Comfy comforters, plenty of bathroom counter space, a bar area to mix up our martinis - we brought martini and wine glasses. And most have great cookies @ 4:00. And everyone is always smiling and chatting with you. The Stepford staff.
Had to wait at the border an hour. We blame the Republicans. I blame them for EVERYTHING!!! Hopefully only 6 more months.
Having a picnic lunch on a rocky beach in Nova Scotia followed by a hike to a waterfall.
Drinking martini's - they figure heavily in this trip - on the the 8th floor terrace overlooking the harbor in Halifax.
Passing up whole belly fried clams because you've have them too often. Seriously. They sell them on every corner in ME, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Realizing that America does not have a hold on everything. Had ice cream at Cows - their version of Ben and Jerry's. Even looks like that store with the t shirts, souvenirs. BUT the ice cream was better. Yes it was.
Reading the news from a not American perspective. Hmmm.
Realizing at 8:00pm that it is Sunday and you did not buy the NY Times! Partially because you did not even realize it was Sunday. I don't think we've ever missed the Sunday Times. Someone needs to save us the magazine, style and travel sections. The rest I'll read online.
Just knowing that this is just the beginning.

Did you hear about the Obama satire cover in the New Yorker. Everyone is saying it so offensive, and I wasn't sure how I felt, that is until I saw the daily show last night. John Stewart puts things in great perspective. Everyone is thinking those offensive things why not put into the spotlight and heat up the conversation.
Talk to you soon.
