Conway, New Hampshire: Sabbaday Falls

Conway, New Hampshire: Sabbaday Falls

A fine walk in the woods, with a prize at the end.

Conway Scenic Railroad

Conway Scenic Railroad.

They have 2 rail tours, 2 hour and 5 hour. Got the skinny from other tourists: on the 2 hour you see about 10% of the sights as the 5 hour. A grand ride. The telegraph poles have been there since the mid 1800's.

J. L. Popp Butterfly Conservatory, Oneonta, NY

 J. L. Popp Butterfly Conservatory, Oneonta, NY

Went there on a guess. Good guess!  About 3000SF of joy. Butterflies all around the room, all around us, to where you could feel a breeze from them as they flew next to you so very close.

And a hedge hog, and a great variety of birds, and a tortous, a huge tree frog, a lizard, fish in the pond....about 2 hours of fun.

Conway New Hampshire: Rocky Gorge

Conway New Hampshire: Rocky Gorge

Campobello Island, NB, Canada

Campobello Island is where FDR grew up, and where he and Eleanor and their kids spent many summers. Gorgeous does not say enough.

To see Franklin's cigarette hold and lighter, Eleanor's "call the children" horn, the old rippled pane windows, and the view out the dining window provided for some memorable pictures.

Eastport: Whale watching on the Ada C. Gore

Eastport is a tiny town on the Eastern most point of the US.

Eastport Windjammers has served us well during 3 visits, but this time was spectacular!
