leaf peeping in New Hampshire...

couple of weekends ago i went up to NH with my friends, tina and sue, to do some hiking and leaf peeping (which is a term that some people seem to find...obscene, for some reason). anyway, nothing was perverted about this trip with the exception of maybe my insistence of documenting the food i ate.


the first thing we did before hiking any trails was eat.... we heard about a place called Polly's Pancake Parlor, so we went and waited more than 30 minutes to be seated since it was that popular (with locals and travelers). had some gooood pancakes with their housemade maple concoctions. Sue and i spent sunday afternoon driving to Portsmouth , and grabbed a hotdog at the famed, Gilley's, for appetizer before going to a brewery co. for for some beer tasting and pub food. then it was killing some time before we can eat dinner over in Maine, at Bob's Clam Hut.....yes we crossed state line to eat.


the foliage was nice, and we did plenty of hiking for our long weekend away. we hiked the White mountains, drove through the Kanc (Kancamagus hwy) and did some shorter trails there, as well as Mt. Monadnock (which claims to be the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world, after Mt. Fuji in Japan). with all the exercise, you can see why food was of importance to me, no?
