Today was a fairly slow one, with minimal driving. We drove by New Hampshire and very quickly, into Maine. New Hampshire was very clear in it's state motto: Live free or die. And Maine's was interesting as well: The way life should be. If you can drive through New Hampshire and are alive at the end of it, you certainly can live in a state where life would be the way it should be!
New Hampshire has an awesome business model with respect to liquor. There are state sponsored liquor stores where it is sold without any tax. People driving in from MA and ME across NH invariably stop at one of those easily accessible stores and stock up! I did my share of picking up a Jameson in a fancy tin packing for just $20. Way below what it would cost in Dublin, Ireland!
I made a quick stop at Kittery, Maine, the northeastern most point of my trip from home. Maine is famous for its lobsters - but Apollo or I would have none of it and we started our long journey back home, bearing southwest from that point on. We have done well over 50% in distance and 26 of the 48 states. I realized that RI was just a 30 minute ride from Shrewsbury and did a quick in & out of RI - an unplanned exercise that would save some time in tomorrow's drive through New York City and New Jersey.
Apollo had a field day. His first playing frisbee with the folks here. Apollo also endeared himself to Ravi - my recommendation was for Ravi to get a dog and let it serve as his stress buster.
