Welcome Frederik & William!

One of the gifts of hosting exchange students is when they return as adults. That's happened this August with William (2015-2016) and his twin brother, Frederik. These two young guys are such interesting people, and together, they enjoy easy conversations and laughter thanks especially to their engaging and entertaining parents, Marianne and Kenneth.
William and Frederik shared their cross-country journey with me (and Bailey), highlighting hiking into the Grand Canyon and road-tripping Route 66. They spoke about the fun of Bricktown in Oklahoma City and the coziness of Ottawa. They visited our quite wonderful neighbors, Connie and Ben; we watched The Equalizer, talked about Rumford, eaten burgers, toured town, and hiked two small mountains in one afternoon: Mystery Mountain in Rumford Point and Cataracts in Andover. We've even been to an American football game to watch Melissa (niece) and Alban's son, Gavin, play our local team. Gavin's a sophomore beast on the field. Melissa is my brother Fred and his wife Pam's oldest daughter.
Today, we'll head on the traditional loop of Height of Land, Rangeley, and Smalls Falls ending at our camp in Weld. Fun day.

if you'd hand over some of your morning bacon!)
