Sarkozy - Au revoir Paris, hello Wolfeboro - by Lisa Wangsness
Sarkozy, his country's celebrated new leader, is planning to get some rest and relaxation on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.
Wolfeboro -- a popular vacation destination for countless Bostonians -- is buzzing with excitement about his visit. David W. Owen, the town manager, said local public safety officials have met with the Secret Service to arrange security. "We're used to having notables, although not heads of state -- heads of state are a little different class," he said.
It is unclear whether Sarkozy's family is accompanying him or why he has chosen Wolfeboro; local residents interviewed did not know of any previous connection. The timing of his visit is also something of a mystery, but a source with knowledge of the trip said Sarkozy plans to arrive in early August and stay for as long as two weeks. A spokesman for the French consulate in Boston declined yesterday to confirm the visit.
