Flat Joe visit Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Hey class!

Today, Flat Joe and I went all the way up to New Hampshire! We visited a nice little town called Portsmouth. Portsmouth is a town that’s next to a river, and on the other side of the river is the state of Maine. Can you find New Hampshire and Maine on the map?

New Hampshire and Maine are part of what is called “New England”. Way back in time, even before George Washington was around, the English came to this part of the country and settled it. That’s why they called it New England. Because it is so old, the buildings are really old too, much older than most of the buildings in Gainesville.

Anyway, it gets cold in New Hampshire! Flat Joe and I walked around to see all the old buildings and look at the water, it was all very pretty. But then it got cold, so we went back inside and warmed up.

It was fun visiting New Hampshire, but Flat Joe and I decided if we ever go back, it will be during the summer!

Take care,

Joe and Flat Joe
