Canaan, NH (USA)

[my dad was visiting for a few days - after teleworking all morning, I took him on a driving tour of my area - we stopped in Hanover to get gas (1115) and then drove across the Connecticut River to get some lunch at King Arthur's Cafe in Norwich - we had a nice meal (sandwiches) and then explored the gift shop - we then drove (via US-5) to Wilder and explored the area near the Dam (Kilowatt Park) - we then continued south to US-4 in WRJ and then took NH-12A to reach the Powerhouse Mall (we'd seen it the day before when we went to dinner at Lui Lui's) - Dad really liked the stores and ambiance and we got some exercise in the building while it was really rainy outside - we got on US-4 and drove to Lebanon (Dad recognized Colbourn Square) and then used NH-120, Etna Road and some gravel roads (some very mushy from mud season) to reach Goose Pond - the weather improved and my dad said he enjoyed the waterfront homes - after we reached Canaan, we retraced our steps to Hanover via US-4, I-89 and NH-120 - I then got back to work while Dad took a nap - after my work day was complete, we drove into Hanover - our first stop was the Library (my dad was impressed) - we then explored Still North, the Nugget Theatre and some of the other stores near Molly's - we ended up taking a brief walk on the Dartmouth Campus and were able to enter the Art Museum building - inside, we located a dining hall - we also explored the adjacent Performing Arts Center before heading back to my place]
