Traveling the Coast

Massachusetts to Maine

Saturday, September 19

 

 

 I was delighted when we reached the coastline – just north of Boston – about noon.

 

 

 We decided to drive every coastline road we could find as we traveled from Glouchester, Massachusetts, to southern Maine, consequently I took almost all these photos from the passenger side window. 

 

 

 We knew we had time for a leisurely drive, but if we were going to arrive in Maine by bedtime, we did not have time for many photo stops.  This was the only time I got out of the car to take a picture.

 

 

As I turned to go back to the car, I saw these “creatures.”  Massachusetts, you have some strange residents.   

 

 

 Enjoy the sights as we work our way to Maine.

It was evening when we arrived in York, Maine, and began looking for a restaurant where I could enjoy a lobster dinner.  (Cerwin does not like seafood in any shape or form.) 

 

 

We had driven by the Lobster Barn, before Cerwin noticed it – and the full parking lot.  A full parking lot is usually a sign of a good restaurant.  We turned around, and are pleased to report that it is a great restaurant.  My lobster pie was delicious, and Cerwin’s steak was done to perfection – for his taste.

From there we headed to the hometown of our daughter and son-in-law (Diane and Mark) to “hide out” in a motel so we would be in the area the next day to participate in surprising them for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.

(Now you know why we were heading north.)
