Day 15: More New Castle, NH

 But the beauty is in the walking -- we are betrayed by destinations.
  Gwyn Thomas

Another day of relaxation, visiting, and great food.  This morning, we walked all around the island (of New Castle).  Perfect weather for a long walk -- cool and overcast.  The homes here are fabulous, and we took in the view at Great Island Common.  Beautiful.

Then we asked a woman to take a picture of the two of us with the lighthouse in the background:

We took Aunt Betty out to lunch -- finally made it to Ray's.  Mimi's first whole lobster.

After lunch, we headed into town, but our shopping was cut short by a pounding thunderstorm.  So, went back to the room, sat in front of the fireplace, and read and relaxed.  Dinner in the Wentworth dining room.  Unbelievably great meal!

I don't think any day is worth living without thinking about what you're going to eat next at all times.
 Rest in peace,  Nora Ephron

Lobster Trio: Grilled, Fried, and Sauteed Lobster.

As much as we hate to think about leaving, we're starting to plan for the trip home.  Mimi's wish was granted on the way here (the SPAM museum), and I am determined to go to the Lucy Museum on the way back!

By the way, we're feeling very fortunate after reading today's headline in the Montana News Now: "Man Gored by Yellowstone Bison."  Mimi did some serious risk-taking in getting the bison shots in Yellowstone, and at one point was filming the grizzly bear tear apart a carcass when 2 bison lumbered right by her.  Little did we understand the risk!  The article said, "The bison got close enough to the man that he caught him on his horns and through (sic) him some 10-feet in the air according to other witnesses. He was then pinned to the ground." (Who?  The bison or the man?  Apparently grammar and spelling aren't key requirements to write for the Montana News Now!).
