Our last day in Rangeley was a sedate drive out close to the Canadian border for another fine view from Quill Hill. Then packing and tidying the house.
Friday with the temperature soaring to 79 we drove 5 hours to our next Airbnb destination; The Doll House in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Such a cutsie house deserving of the name. We met Susan, our host who drove by to meet us, then walked into Plymouth. This is a university town and has a brick built high street , not the typical New England clapboarding. We found the bistro, heavily recommended and ate at the bar as it was full. It is Columbus Day holiday weekend, so I guess even more people were out enjoying themselves than would normally be for this little town. We met 3 people and Pete struck up a conversation with local, Cameron, who was an interesting guy. We discovered that both he and the lady on my side at the bar were going to vote for Trump. There are a lot of his supporters in these states of course. Cameron gave a long explanation as to why he will vote this way, despite considering himself a liberal. He believes that America's complacency needs a shake-up and that will happen if Trump gets in. I personally don't follow that logic, even though he had all the convincing facts and figures at his fingertips to prove his point. We enjoyed conversation and he tipped us off to some music venues around the area and restaurants. We swooped contact details and will try and meet up with him again.
The detail in this little house is wonderful. Spriggy fresh wallpapers, gingham curtains, pretty lamps and soft furnishings. It could be a film set for a wholesome New England family residence. Just perfect.
