Cruisin’ to Nicky’s
Today was another very restful day.
I spent some time on the phone with American Coach concerning some upgrades to our coach I’m thinking about.
Going outside I was surprised to see another American Eagle like ours parked next door. Don’t know what year it is, but it’s newer than ours, since it has two slideouts. We’ll try to get to know the owners soon.
Then we headed out for a late lunch at Nicky’s Cruisin’ Diner, a 50’s style place with jukebox controls at every booth, and 50’s memorabilia on the walls. Food was good too.
After lunch, Jan wanted to drive around Bangor and its suburbs, so we spent an hour or so cruisin’ around.
After stopping off at Sam’s for some new wiper blades for the coach, we stopped back by Nicky’s for some of their soft serve ice cream. Uniquely, Nicky’s has 26 flavors of soft serve, where most places just have vanilla, and maybe chocolate, too.
Returning to the rig, we were again surprised to find ANOTHER American Eagle on the other side of the one from this morning. It’s unusual to find one other Eagle in a park, much less two.
We’re supposed to have rain tonight and tomorrow.
We’ll see…
Oriental Jade…
After sleeping in this morning, we drove over to Bangor to a Chinese restaurant, Oriental Jade, that we’d seen yesterday on our way to Pepina’s.
It turned out to be really good, especially the Hot & Sour Soup. We’ll try to go back.
Leaving the restaurant, we drove down the street to Sam’s Club and then on to a brand-new Walmart down the road a piece. This may have been the biggest Walmart we’ve ever been in, and the layout is completely different from any we’ve ever been in. Except for the checkouts being in the front, nothing was where it was supposed to be.
I think it took us twice as long to shop as it normally would.
Getting back to the rig, we let Mister play outside for a bit while we enjoyed the nice weather.
Don’t know how long that will last though. I can’t believe we’re almost in Nova Scotia and we have to worry about dodging a hurricane!
We’ll see how the weather goes.
More tomorrow…
