Bike is another good way to get around ( nice 10 speed in the shed) and the rolling hills really make it fun. Great exercise also. Then cool off with a swim in the pond. I confess, it mostly stays in the shed, but I feel healthy knowing it is there.

 

Eating at Sporto's was part of the New Durham experience. Sadly, the restaurant closed this summer. Next to Johnson's restaurant is a gourmet wine and cheese store. They also sell wonderful baked goods. There is a butcher shop in the rear with an awesome  selection of custom cuts. Their marinated turkey tips (cilantro and lime) are unforgetable.

 

 Definately go into the New Durham Public Library and meet Max and Kathy and see if there are any activites scheduled that might catch your interest. The programs they run for the kids are really amazing.  And I am proud to be an elected Trustee of the Library. You will see pastures full of cows as you enter the town. And chickens and ducks running over lawns. But do not be deceived. This is a very eclectic community.

 

If you love a bargain, there is TRudy's in Alton. It is a very well run consignment shop (John, the owner used to run a PX in the military) with some very good bargains. If you like antiques, visit Yesterday's Post Office. It is owned by my good friends Betty and Lorraine who have a wonderful selection of goodies and bargains. 

 

Wolfboro is the next town and has many good restaurants as well as a very lively main street. Additionally, this summer, the place was overrun by Secret Service Agents as this is where Mitt has a summer house (mansion actually).
