We stayed in Freeport, Maine. There really isn't much of interest to me in Freeport, but we did make the requisite visit to LL Bean store that started it all. We enjoyed an awesome bowl of clam chowder there. And Charlie struck a pose.
Leaving our campground in Freeport, we stopped for delicious cheeseburgers at a local restaurant. They were great, almost as good as the home-made cinnamon-sugar donuts we had for breakfast!
We visited Booth Bay on our way to Bar Harbor. We were lucky enough to find the Booth Bay public parking lot virtually deserted, so we were able to easily park the Ford and camper. It wasn't a particularly warm day, but to be on the safe side we decided to leave Scotchie in the camper instead of the Ford so he wouldn't get too warm. So after some ado, we set out to walk along the hilly streets and look in the shops. I bought myself a pair of rubber boots that seem perfect for Maine shores. (And I think they're cuter than the ones at LL Bean.)
We had a really nice time in the galleries and walking along the harbor. Imagine our surprised when we got back to the parking lot -- back door of the Ford was left wide open! O M G! Yet not one person had touched a thing. I guess that is the blessing of sightseeing when everyone except other retirees is either at work or school! Or maybe there simply aren't so many hooligans in Maine as in Maryland! In any event, we vow to pay closer attention for the rest of the trip, since we also left our front door open when we left home! (Thanks, dear daughter!)
This last picture is for our grandson who loves monster trucks!
