Altolinguistic and her husband are flying across the Atlantic soon and will be visiting me on Mount Desert Island.

I am away from email until Sunday (hopefully I'll be atop Katahdin in a few days) but maybe others could chime in with date and location suggestions. We live in Somesville but are open to going anywhere on the island.
