I had a fun day walking around Montreal, Quebec, Canada, visiting the Museum of Fine Arts (Musée Des Beaux-Arts de Montréal), Mont Royal, the old city and old port, and meeting a nice guy named Laurent, then returning to the B&B in the gay Village.

My sister hosted me at her place in Hanover. New Hampshire, where she works at Dartmouth Medical Center.

Not since I was a teenager had I visited Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island, Maine. John, his nephew Gabe, and I hiked up Kebo Mountain, Dore Mountain, and Cadillac Mountain, almost all uphill, then we joined Gabe’s parents (and John’s brother and sister-in-law) Rob and Peg for popovers at the Jordan Pond House, one of my favorite places for tea!
