1. Crossing the churning waters of the Atlantic to the isle of
Vinalhaven (a 13 mile voyage out to sea, mind you)
2. Riding around the hilly island roads on rented bikes that looked
like they were fashioned in the forties and cryopreserved in mint
condition.
3. Leaping off of the Cliffs of Insanity at Lawson's Quarry over and
over and over again (cannonbaaaaaall!) and
4. Making the journey back "home" again..... We were very hungry.
So we made a pilgrimage back to the Country Cupboard. Sean's famous
last words were..."I think I'd like something hot, spicy. Yeah, that's
it."
So he had 5 strips of what the locals call "Nuclear Chicken" (See
exhibit A for his initial reaction). These tender strips of meat were
soaked in some kind of secret government sauce that could pull the
barnacles off a schooner's keel (that's some sweet nautical lingo we
picked up on the ferry). Sean braved three out of five pieces, which
is extraordinary. We should've bottled that sauce and used it on the
mosquitoes. Dang it!
PS - Sean, to quote Clint Eastwood, "A man's got to know his
limitations."

Did you bring the Dragon Bane as requested? Would that help with the Dragon Breath?
