It’s déjà-vu all over again. In May, we planned a trip to Bar Harbor and it turned out to be during a heat wave! In June, we planned this trip to Hanover, NH and it turned out to be in a heat wave. Should we tell the weather people that we are heading to Europe at the end of August, or should we just let that heat wave be a surprise as well?
The drive was short and very pleasant. The Hanover Inn is much more hotelish than innish, but that’s okay. So for dinner, there’s Murphy’s and Molly’s. We settle on Molly’s and their $3 Margaritas. Deb says it’s more of a Margarita spritz, kinda of a three buck suck! By 4:00 she is hungry and ready for an appetizer. Just so you neophites understand, an appetizer at 4:00 is going to be shared and more importantly, it’s going to be dinner! Yup, half a tiny chicken quesadilla. Live free or die(t).
Back to the hotel for a nightcap (it’s only 6:00 by the way). Deb is sound asleep by 8:00 only to be awaken by our son who is vacationing in Hawaii to tell us that there is a tsunami coming his way. The hotel tells him not to worry because he is on the sixth floor unlike those unfortunate people on the fourth floor. The tsunami is going to strike at 1:17, our time (such precision). We are up watching the weather channel, remembering the destruction in Japan as a huge wave rolled in years ago, with views of the beaches in Hawaii. Some tsunami expert describes the anticipated !slow rise of water. It’s kinda like watching bread rise. We’re too tired to watch anymore, hopefully he’ll be okay! (He was fine.)
