Staying with Mike and Klarina

Here we are at Mike and Klarina's house in Dover, Mass.

The road conditions were not very good coming through New Brunswick. It started snowing as we crossed the Confederation Bridge. Getting heavier until after Moncton it changed to ice pellets and rain. After we crossed into the U.S.A.there was less and less snow.After we hit Bangor, there was no more snow on the ground. We arrived at Mike and Klarina's at about 9 o'clock local time, or about 10 o'clock PEI time. So it took about twelve hours to get there.

This is Mike and Klarina's house. They gave us a wonderfull tour through Boston today. But our day stated with a hike in their 800 acre backyard. They took us to a cliff with a beautifull view of the surrounding area.

Old meets new in this picture.In the background we have the John Hancock Tower.A big glass paneled office tower. In the foreground is Trinity Church.Mike's sister actually got married here. We had a look inside, and it was really beautifull.There are 16 stained glass windows in the back wall.

On the left is a picture of the Boston skyline. It makes to old part of Boston. After we got back from our tour trough old Boston, we went for a ride in Mike's M3. Breathtaking! That adrenaline rush over with, we went mountain biking up to a fire tower. Troughout the summer it is manned to watch for forest fires. We watched the sun set from here. Then it was back to home for a relaxing dip in the hot tub, outside.That was nice and refreshing.
End of day two.

I'm glad you guys had a safe trip to Boston. You're probably still on the plane at this point. I'm not sure of your ETA, but it'll likely be another few hours.
Have a fruitful time. I'll talk to you soon, no doubt.
Much Love,
~ Mary
