Left for the JFK Library in Boston this morning at about 10:30. It’s a straight shot into Boston from here. Didn’t take long at all and only had one traffic back-up. The library sits right on the old harbor just across the water from Boston. The building was designed by I. M. Pei and is a work of art in itself. Spent over 4 hours there. Extremely interesting and entertaining. JFK’s 26-foot sloop, the Victura, sits outside. We left there between 3:30 and 4:00. I thought we should have gone into Boston and had dinner, but Mike wanted to beat the rush hour. There was quite a bit of traffic at first but thinned out after we got on Rt. 3. Back to Plymouth in 50 minutes and had dinner at an Italian restaurant on the harbor and sat outside on the deck. A beautiful evening. After dinner we stopped at a local shop and bought some more chocolate covered cranberries—like we need them. Back to Pinewood Lodge and we decided to go ahead and do the laundry. Met a great couple in the laundry room from California. They’re on a three-month trip through New England and over to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We told them about Door County in Wisconsin. Hope they check it out. Supposed to rain tomorrow. We’ll see.
