The "Maine" Event



Joyce at Camden harbor

 On Monday we left the Niagara Falls area and made it to  Northeastern New York State.  We left the Great State of New York on Tuesday, and passed through Vermont and New Hampshire, and rolled on into Maine. Wednesday was to leave us a short ( 175 mile ) run to Ellsworth, Maine. But, the gremlins popped up with slide out issues for both Mike and Joyce, & Jim and Marcella. I had just commented the day before how we had made it all this way with no issues! The good thing was that it wasn't us with the problem. This delayed our departure by a couple hours, but we all made it to Ellsworth by 5:00 p.m.
We went out to dinner, and I had my first lobster in Maine. It was a one pounder, and quite a bit of work to get from shell to stomach.  The following day the guys played 18 holes at a nearby golf course, and the ladies went shopping, etc.  That evening we went to a recommended lobster joint where I ordered the 2 lobster dinner ( 1 lb.each)  for $17.00  What a deal, and I'm getting the hang of separating the meat from the shell.
Friday we took a drive into Bar Harbor with Jim and Marcella, while Mike and Joyce (Sr,) visited Joyce's relatives. Today Jim and Marcella headed north into Canada to visit Nova Scotia, and Mike & Joyce were off visiting more relatives. So Joyce and I took a drive down the coast to do a little sight seeing.
The weather has not been cooperating the past couple of days, and reminds us of Seattle in November. We seem to be right in the clouds. It's been foggy, drizzly, and rainy. The forecast is calling for sunshine on Monday and Tuesday, so we'll try to take advantage of that.

The colors are just beginning to turn, but should be full blown by the first of October. We'll be heading south to Wells, Maine on the 28th, and will be staying there for 2 weeks. We're going to try to take a tour  of Boston;s Fenway Park in our travels.

Tomorrow's another day.     Ernie
