Campobello
Posted by jimhersh | 12th August 2007
Campobello is a really interesting place. An international park run by the U.S. and Canada on Campobello Islandd, New Brunswick. FDR’s “cottage” is there with all of its original furnishings. FDR designed and played in a golf course there before he was stricken by polio. Guides were clear to say that he did not contract polio there, although he was in Campolbello when it leveled him. The actual contraction took place in Bear Mountain, N.Y.
Anyway, it is a beautiful place with lots of history. Before leaving we dined at a nice restaurant where the locals go called Family Fisheries.
Leaving Campobello, we crossed to Lubeck, Maine in the good old USA. We could not get a room in Bangor, so drove down to Pittsfield, Maine where we got a old fashioned yet clean room. Norman, the desk clerk was pleasant too. We did not meet his mother.
Next, we head for home.
