Now Coming to Littleton, NH 

David and Noi's Amazing Adventure

On March 11, 2015 Noi and David arrived in Littleton to visit Emshika Alberini and family and for Noi to fill in at the Chang Thai restaurant.

 It was great for David to finally meet Emshika, Steve, and their kids as well as Em's mother and the other staff at the Chang Thai.

After lunch, David and Noi took a drive to check out the layout of the country, driving up to Whitefield (about 10 or so miles away) and back to Littleton.  What stands out are the mountains and rivers, of course, but also the character of the homes in Littleton.

On Day 2 of our journey in the White Mountains, we decided to go to Vermont and check out the smallest capitol city in the U.S., Montpelier.  On the way, we were fascinated by the little towns in between Littleton and our destination.

On Day 3, we took Emshika's advice and went on a drive around the White Mountains to see the White Mountain Resort.  Nothing could have prepared me for what we saw.  It truly looked like a scene out of a James Bond movie.  The picture below pales in comparison to the actual site.

After leaving the White Mountain Resort, David and Noi drove past several ski areas (not particularly interesting to take photos of) and then came across a little village of Glen where a little theme park jumped out from nowhere.

On the way back to Littleton, David and Noi stopped at a little house with a lot of character for another photo shoot.  It seems that almost every piece of the U.S. historical gas station Americana has migrated to this guy's yard.

This was such a cool place to see on the side of the road.

Simply Amazing.

Noi really enjoyed getting in among the characters.

Fun Times!

On Day 4 David and Noi rested and just hung out in Littleton.  However, it was good to take walks around town.  This time, the photos focused on the creative signs around town.

It's a little information booth for a little town named Littleton.

Gotta love the Bad Art

Yet one more play on the town's name in a business sign.

So which side of the tracks are you on?
