We travelled from Boston to Vermont and New Hampshire and stayed mainly in small hotels. We went from there to Kennebunkport along the coast of Maine and back to Boston. Finally we visited Newport in Rhode Island and met all the people of MCM that had provided the back office for Adèle during her expeditions around the world.
The foliage colours were at its most impressive in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, but it rained and was foggy most of the time. In Kennebunkport and Newport we had sunshine, but the colours hadn’t advanced as much. Vermont offered a compromise between the two.
Jennifer and I had more lobsters than we ever had had in our lives. We had lobster burgers and lobster omelettes. We had them fried and steamed, cold and warm and with any kind of sauce.
