From The Pacific To The Atlantic - A Photo Record
Day 12
The Three Viallages QC - Rye NH
We loaded up the car for the final leg of our journey and set off with Fraser in the back and the Young parents in a convoy. The goal was the Atlantic Ocean and a celebratory lobster. Checking the map, our original guess of Bar Harbor, Maine seemed an unlikely choice, so we settled on the New Hampshire coast. Fraser rightly reasoned that with only 25 miles of coastline, the good taxpayers of NH would probably like it to be in good repair. And he was right. A quick 3.5-hour jaunt down the Interstate and we alighted at the nearly empty Rye Beach. With an outside temperature of 106, we wondered why there were less than a dozen swimmers. The answer revealed itself when David, Fraser and I, upon diving into the water, actually froze our bits off. It was extrememly cold, but completely refreshing. The water also seemed saltier than the pacific, but maybe that's the imagination. In any case, Suzanne and I had reached the end of the journey. And it was good.
