Sep 9 – We’ve spent our first few days in the lovely state of Maine. It’s a lot like Vermont and New Hampshire so far. As I mentioned before the trees are just starting to change so the main attraction is yet to come. I included a couple of photos of a small tree and some ferns that had already changed.
We took a scenic drive through some mountains passing several lakes and rivers. This place is really nice to look at this time of year; very tempting to want a little place on a lake up here. Thinking about snow on the ground 5 months of the year keeps us on track though. Seriously there is a lot of property for sale. It seems like 20% of the places we go by are for sale. Sign of the times I guess.
Maine takes a lot of pride in their lobster heritage. Everything is lobster. We haven’t reached the coast yet but came across an ice cream shop that had “Lobster Bit” ice cream. We had to try it. You can see by the photo that Val and Maggie like it a lot: me too.
Tomorrow we leave headed for the coast. Hope to eat our fill of lobster, scallops, crabs and clams in the next few weeks. We’re going to have to take our time going through the small fishing villages and light houses along the coast while we wait for the trees to change color; can’t think of a better place to be right now.
