Bon Voyage, Marie

We got back into town late Saturday night. The previous 3 days and 2 nights were spent in Boston as a last horrah before saying good bye to our friend Marie. It was a great trip to the big city including dinner with friends Caroline, Josh and Noah and a light early dinner and cocktails at the Top of the Hub restaurant in the Prudential Tower. We splurged and stayed right in the city and so did more walking and T riding than previous trips. It gave me a much better understanding of the city layout. Each step and each passing hour, brought us closer to the impending goodbye.


Marie was with us for about three weeks. Needless to say, Marie became part of the family. She was willing to try anything and met a slew of new people, both from France and Maine. Her french friends became our friends and our Mainer friends became hers. I hope that she got as much from being here as we did hosting. There was a lot going on during the time - we went camping near Sebec Lake, hiking in Acadia, we went to the Celtic Celebration in Belfast and did our best to put on a "Quatorze de Juillet" (Bastille Day) party. In-laws from Ireland visited as did friends from Portland and beyond. We cooked, We did yard work, we swam, we cleaned. Here are some pictures from our New England Odyssey. We will miss you Marie.





















































Merci beaucoup, Marie. Nous espérons vous voir bientôt.
