Day 40. Friday.
Just another day in paradise. The sun is shining, the river is burbling and the birds are chirping.
After a trip to London Drugs for an OS upgrade and external back-up drive for Bob we headed to Mount Washington for lunch. This is where he ski's. The lodge was nice and the Jerk Chicken was good although I could have handled it hotter. I don't usually eat cooked vegetables but these were sauteed el dente so they were quite eatable. After a few pictures we descended the mountain and stopped at Nymph Falls for a few more pictures.
I offered to make Bob some szechaun beef for dinner so we had to make a trip to the market for a few ingredients. It's a simple recipe but a good one. After dinner Tika reminded us it was time for her walk so off we went down the street to the woods. It must be really nice having a wooded area along the river half a block away. There are always people swimming or having a picnic etc. Just watch out for the cougars. Bob said he saw one jump out of a tree across the river once. Apparently they climb to the lower branches on the pines and wait for prey to pass. Keep your chin up!
