My destination is Camp Kotok on Tuesday, but I’m making the most of the journey. On Saturday, the highlight was a visit to Campobello Island and the summer home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. According to the tour guide, it’s the only property that is owned by a collaborative arrangement between Canada and the USA. Join me for a quick look around and reflections (2 minutes).
