Well, we made it to Boothbay, Maine and met up with good friends, Barb and Jim Gustafson on Thursday evening. We spent 6 nights at a lovely campground nestled in the woods and just a short drive into the town of Boothbay Harbor.
Highlights of our time there included a visit to nearby Pemaquid Point. There is a beautiful old lighthouse perched on a rocky point jutting out into the sea. The men climbed down the rocks to the ocean's edge, while Barb and I stayed on the uppper level taking photos of the men and of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is located inside a park, which also included a lovely restaurant, the obligatory gift shop and artists gallery.
We also visited another favorite spot.........Shaw's Lobster Wharf in New Harbor..........where we ate our fill of Lobstah. Ahhhh.......what can be better than sitting at an old picnic table overlooking the water, ]sun shining brightly and gentle breezes blowing while eating 2 pound fresh lobsters with drawn butter running down your chin? I think this place must be Barry's favorite haunt in Maine and he has the tee shirt to prove it.
We also took in some theater while there...........a favorite pastime of ours.. Saw "The Music Man" at the Boothbay Playhouse. We are always amazed at the local talent and were genuinely entertained by these hard-working young people. Made me remember my youngest son, Ryan's, role as Marcelis Washburn in his sixth grade performance many years ago.
The weather has been mostly good. Mostly sun and moderate temperatures but it did rain hard last night. That is not a good sign when you have to unhook the RV and travel on to a new spot. Luckily the rain stopped this morning about 9 am and we were able to hitch up and move on to Camden, Maine. We will be in this area for 3 nights before heading into New Brunswick, Canada.
