It was a really quiet day. We spent the time just walking through town, stepping into little shops, and just enjoying the area and each other's company. We stopped in a little Celtic shop and got talking to the fellow behind the counter. Found out he was from New York and a female impersonator. Uhmmm.... He was a nice fellow and took an instant liking to Elaine. He told us how he got there, the story of his father's passing, and how we should all be understanding of each other. We enjoyed the conversation.
This was a little wall we found during our walk. You think they don't want anyone to sit on it? We haven't seen a skate boarder so we thought they must just be grumpy people who don't want anybody on their property, we sat on it anyway...I'm typing this standing up!
This is Perkins Cove. We spent a lot of time down here just wandering around and going in the candy store. This is the bay where the Lobster boats hang out. Just right behind me is the Lobster Shack where we had dinner. Fresh.
Here it is! Real Lobster. We actually picked them out and waited for them to cook. We just sat and laughed thinking about how all of you would have run out of the place screaming. It wasn't as good as baked lobster but you can't come to Maine and not have a lobster. The owner of the place was real nice and asked if we needed to be shown how to do it. We said we had been reading up on how to eat a lobster and went to work. It turned out good except for the green goop that made Elaine almost gag. It is actually the liver and some actually find it good.
This is the restaurant we ate at. It has a famous reputation for great lobster. It sits right in Perkins Cove and the Lobster they get is from the catch that day. Very fresh.
The Lobster Shack. This is the original building that use to be an actual lobster shack. We looked at some old photos in the library of the wharf and saw this actual building in them.
This is the view from the Oreweed restaurant where we had desert. We got to sit right by the window. Just beautiful. We left from here and walked down the Marginal Way which follows a path out to the point on your left in the picture.
My my, who is this handsome young devil. This is my tree. I loved taking pictures through the limbs. This is along the Marginal Way and one of our favorite places to stop and look out over the Ocean. It has been a fun trip. We had a fire last night and didn't want to go to bed because that meant we would have to get up and go home and cook for starving kids! We have missed you guys but we had a great time. Thank you for letting us do this, it means a lot to us that you have taken care of business why we have been gone.
