Hello friends,
Miss Blondie here reporting from the good ol' US of A! I feel like sad and lonely lost puppy without writing my Blondie Abroad blog so I've decided to start another! What better to write about than the super exciting, ridiculously riveting, absolutely thrilling, state of New Hampshire.
I've returned to New Hampshire to work at an esteemed golf estate with my husband. Together we work in a golf shop, him knowing everything about golf, and myself knowing that there are 18 holes and you want the ball to go in the hole, and not a whole lot else. Our club is delicately placed on a beautiful spot on the side of Lake Winnipesaukee. Lake Winnie is a summer haven for city slickers and Floridian country club pensioners.
While the Lake region is a picturesque place to spend the summer, it can also be a bit dull, given that it takes at least 40 minutes to get anywhere, and even once you get there there isn't a whole lot to do. The goal of this blog is to do the impossible and create an image of New Hampshire that no one has ever seen before, one of excitement (and jealousy for all who read it). Welp... here we go!
We have been here a week now, many of the members haven't arrived quite yet so it has been a bit on the slower side of things. I'm going to appreciate this lull because in a few short weeks I know I'll barely have time to think. I've been taking this time to snap some shots and work on my golf (well, build a base to work on).

Yesterday we ventured up to our usual NH entertainment spot, Castle in the Clouds. While I've never paid the admission fee to go up to the Castle itself, I have gone through the delivery gate and ventured around the property. First we went to visit our friend Zeus, our favorite 3,000 pound Belgian Draft Horse. Zeus is the second largest horse in the world, first place spot belonging to "Big Jake" in England. (lame). Zeus was chipper and enormous as usual, and I was frantic and scared to death as usual.

Then we went to visit my second favorite Castle friends, the Giant Rainbow Trout. The GRT's were as excited to see us as we were to see them. A splendid visit indeed.

There it is friends, the first of my Blondie in the Backwoods posts. I'll attempt to make them as enjoyable as my Africa posts, but I can't make any promises. :)
