……..you stop at the gas station and the attendant asks how many days you have been staying at the Brockton House Inn (apparently you are driving what is referred to as the Brockton Bus) …….you are waved at by the driver of every vehicle you pass on the road (I’ve always loved “The Wave”) ……..you go to the grocery store…
Read more »Not so much adventure today, although it could have been. I stopped in the Shop Easy for a bottle of juice. I love small towns…where else do you see baby food etc on one side of the aisle, fishing tackle and fish bonkers right next to it, and motor oil and crab traps across the aisle? I didn’t have a…
