This morning, we saddle up our 400 horses and begin the drive towards Littleton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston that will be our home for the next four days. As it has been throughout the foliage trip, the weather provided perfect driving conditions as we rode the interstate, paid more tolls, and left Maine. Three dozen miles of coastal New Hampshire, then the Bay State and its busy traffic kept us alert until we reached our leafy RV park. Guided to our sites, we carefully negotiated dirt trails among the veeerrrryy close trees to a perfectly level spot. Once again connected to the vitals (water, electricity, sewer and cable TV), the 10 of us joined forces and headed for the nearby "99 Restaurant". This New England chain has entertained us with some of the best restaurant food at reasonable prices. Lunch today was no exception. The best part was watching the last of the Chilean miners being brought to the surface. How could we miss this real "reality" show? Surely, this gave all who watched a special feeling of thanks, wonder, and pride that humans CAN do good for its fellow man ... and did today, ever so successfully. Strong people; strong will; strong commitment. Of course the US was there, with many other countries. A truly great effort with a great ending.
