En Route to Canada
Our first night was at this historic hotel in Concord, New Hampshire
The Last American Breakfast
We needed to fortify ourselves for being away from the States - especially over the 4th of July!

Lac Massawippi Cruise
Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable, and managed to say, "Eh" with a French accent
"Massawippi" means "Deep Water" in the native tongue. The lake is nearly 300' deep in some areas!
We toured in a 1957 Vintage Power Boat. The mahogany woodwork was amazing!
