 Day 1: August 8, we take the grande tour.... |
 ...stopping at Cape Newagen to look at osprey... |
 ....the beautiful harbor... |
 ....and lobstermen as they come into port and |
 ....leave again. |
 On the dock below, a tourist catches a stripped bass that is too small to keep. |
 Then we stop at a country store that makes us feel like we've stepped back 50 years! |
 A lunch counter and bowling alley are the highlights. |
 The Three Mousketeers enjoy the scene. |
 Last stop: LUNCH at the Tugboat Inn. |
 After dinner we go out shop hopping and... |
 ...the early evening dusk is gorgeous! |
 People gather at the fudge shop. |
 Day 2: We drive to Rockport, Camden, Bayside & Belfast. |
 In Camden, the schooner fleet is in and we find this schooner cat, Robbie, lounging on a foggy day. |
 But we still find time to phone home... |
 ...and shop.... |
 ....and try on new clothes! |
 This is the back side of the waterfall. |
 Then it's off to investigate the schooner fleet. |
 We manage to get an invitation to board the Mary Day.... |
 and explore while the crew cleans... |
 ....and gets ready for the next batch of passengers--right down to the kid crew! |
 We can photograph the waterfall from the Mary Day.... |
 ....and get this unusual perspective. |
 And here's proof that we actually got on board. |
 Then on the way home we stop at the farm where White Belted Galloways 'grow.' Michaele says we should call them Maine Zebras. |
 Evening Day 2: With a meal like this... |
 ....and good conversation there are... |
 ...lots of smiles! |
 Day 3: Reading the mail and news before a busy day. |
 We go to Pemaquid Light as the sun peeks through for a few hours. |
 Ron points out a boat struggling through the waves and... |
 Liz suns on the ledges. |
 It's a gorgeous place for everyone. |
 Michaele kidnaps a small child.... |
 ....between taking lots of pictures. |
 This is a shot Michaele really likes. |
 Everyone is sightseeing.... |
 ...and I mean EVERYONE... |
 ...and this is what.... |
 ....they are looking at. |
 ....on dangerous ground. |
 On the way home, we sample a McDonald's lobster roll. Yes folks! They serve "Mc'lobster" at Mickey D's! |
 In the evening we go to Ocean Point to try to see a sunset. |
 Day 4: Michaele & Liz buy their tickets to a whale watch. |
 We walk the public docks and get a better look at 'our' watch boat.... |
 ....and find this mast head on a nearby Friendship Schooner. |
 Michaele blows time on a Gameboy. |
 The Three Mousketeers on board waiting for the cruise to leave. |
 On the way out we see pleasure boats on the horizon...far away through the fog. |
 And tourists from a Harley Davison Group in Zelienople surprise us by being aboard too. |
 Backfin whales blow the sea air from their lungs before they breach. |
 Someone's 40th birthday balloons pollute the ocean. Please don't throw garbage or let balloons escape. They may end up here. |
 A naturalist teaches us all about whales. |
 Back on land, we find flowers.... |
 ....angels.... |
 ...and things to shop for ...... |
 .....in town. |
 Day 5: On a rainy day, we go out for.... |
 ....breakfast and Liz poses for Michaele in another phone booth. |
 At Brown's Wharf there are beautiful boats and calm waters. |
 It's very busy at the restaurant, so we wait for a seat.... |
 ....and explore the docks. |
 After breakfast in Damariscotta, we shop and Liz finds a nightshirt, then... |
 ...it's time for a coffee break and... |
 ...more shopping! It's a day of shopping from beginning to end! |
 Day 6: Puffin Cruise, At the dock there's time to anticipate the puffins. |
 An Audobon naturalist narrates the tour. |
 A bird egg is circulated through the passengers to show cammoflage. |
 Ron & Michaele watch for puffins and then....THERE they are! |
 Puffins are on and all around Egg Rock... |
 ....and for this little football with wings, take-off is a challenge! |
 Isn't he cute???? |
 In full flight at last! |
 Michaele & Liz buy things for their classrooms |
 Passengers stand on the bow for the trip home. |
 Then we head out to Red's Eats where it's too busy and we don't feel like waiting in the line. |
 At Edgecomb Potter's Michaele tries out the leaf chaise. She DOESN'T find it comfortable! |
 Blown glass at Edgecomb potters. |
 Then in the evening we make one more visit to Pemaquid... |
 ...to again experience the sheer joy of being by the ocean in such a beautiful place. |
 Liz looks out at the ocean, |
 Michaele gets ready to do some more photography, and |
 ...Ron looks for wildlife! |
 The light from the rocky shore near sunset. |
 It's a time for quiet conversations. |
 Liz covers all views and greets this cat... |
 A beautiful sky like THIS lights the house like THIS! |
 (lighthouse, Pemaquid, Maine) |
 This sign has new meaning as it gets dark. |
 As it darkens, the light puts on one new.... |
 ...face.... |
 ....after another. |
 We say 'Good Night' to Pemaquid Light. (lighthouse) |
 Day 7: Farewell Day, we start at the Ocean Point Inn for breakfast and Michaele selects a new sweatshirt. |
 Then it's off to feed the ducks left-over bread and bagels. |
 |
 Oopsy, Daisy! Bottoms UP! |
 Liz checks out the town docks across the street, then it's back home to pack. |
 "Liz, can you help me get this suitcase zipped?" |
 "You push and I'll pull!" |
 "Maybe a good knee will do the trick and if all else fails.... |
 ....we'll just remove some stuff." |
 Well it's all packed and now it's time to go. |
 Good-bye waves at Portland International Airport. |
