#*@##/* I HATE *#?*@* TOURISTS.

During summer, particularly during school holidays this area is swamped with tourists. And this year, given the difficulties in flying many Europeans (except British) are flocking to the scenic areas of France.

Roads on which i rarely see a vehicle in winter are gridlocked after 10:30.

This morning i went for a kinesitherapy appointment. On the way there the roads were reasonable, the journey took just over 15 minutes. The return took one hour and twenty minutes. Roads jam packed with foreign cars, mini buses, not so mini buses, camping cars (RVs), cars and vans towing caravans, families of cyclists who have hired bikes from a local hire shop, possibly the first time some of them have peddled on two wheels and hikers who somehow think the road is theirs to wonder around on.

September just cannot come quick enough.

Okay. Rant over

Interesting....

Next week is vacation, but not the typical tourist thing. Taking the youngest to look at colleges, visiting friends, and looking at retirement sites in NH. Mrs Wu was looking at the coast of New Hampshire, between Portsmouth and Hampton. However, I grew up in New England.....and I talked her out of that area with Nor'easters (real big winter storms that can throw boulders up on the shore) and #*@##/* TOURISTS..... we are looking more central now.

And you are right, coastal homes are spendy on maintenance. Sand blasting doesn't do houses much good.

And of course, the view never varies, horizon every day.

Don't forget the golden rule when looking at colleges for the kids .. the further away from home the better

Part time, can't retire full time to Canada, to old. THey will not grant citizenship to retire folk from other countries. Can only live there 6 months a year. But to be honest, I much prefer NH, Mrs Wu prefers Canada

Different type of coast in NH. and we were not looking "on" the coast. But a New England nor'easter brings bad weather for the coast, high wind, waves and, flooding, Go west and heavy HEAVY snow inland. But it was the avoiding the summer tourists that closed the deal.
