We spent the day today with P, B & L in Groveland. After a wonderful breakfast prepared by P and served by she and L, B took us for a scenic tour of the area.
We travelled along the coastline to Plum Island, Ipswich, Essex and Gloucester, among others. It was a beautiful sunny day and made for a lovely drive.
We returned to a nice dinner prepared by P while we were sight seeing.
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the US. Today we attended one of the advance services. B is a member of the Coast Guard reserve and it was a special day for him. Here you see him looking grand in his uniform. It was a nice ceremony and parts of it brought tears to my eyes. Members from most of the services were there and also a group of boy scouts. One of Groveland's school bands performed a medley of patriotic songs. It all looked grand with the flags flying in the breeze and all the guys in uniform.
After the ceremony we returned to P & B's where there were some sad goodbyes and hopes of other visits sometime in the future.
B had been coming to meet us at the hotel and leading the way to his place. Tonight we decided that we would be able to find the way back on our own. After a couple of short detours we made it back safely. I was quite proud of us.
Tomorrow we set out again and will be travelling through New York state and perhaps beyond.
We'll see you at the end of that day,,,,,
