Happy Thanksgiving!

 


Today is a day of thanks. So, before I start, let me first say how grateful Julie & I are for our friends and family. Your engagement and support means the world to us. You make the distance tolerable and ground us with a sense of home.  The opportunity we have been given has been extraordinary.  We are experiencing something incredible and are getting spoiled.  Our area is a bit like the Seaport in Boston, which will make this tough to match at a reasonable price when we finally return home. 

Tonight we celebrated American Thanksgiving  at the Chicago Meat Packing Bar & Grill (CMP) out on the outer Palm. We were treated to a show of lighted dancing fountains every 30 minutes set to a variety of music from around the world.  I’m told these are the largest dancing fountains in the world . . . .  but a few weeks ago, I was told the fountains 6 miles away were the largest in the world?  . . . Hmmm? . . .  Our meal wasn’t quite home but a valid attempt. Nothing replaces football and a pile of leftover dark meat that is thankfully shunned by my wife’s family!  Geographically, we were only a couple of miles from home in the Marina, but a whole new place for us. Definitely coming back soon to explore further. Some more photos of our evening below . . . .


No idea what this is about (beyond a whale’s tail), but it was really cool and we need one in Boothbay!  Maybe they could add it to that pile of dirt they are failing to make into a park on the east harbor?

Tonight we were located at the top of the “palm,” overlooking the Atlantis resort along the arc.
