I am such a crappy blogger. The entries are getting choppier as I get tireder and I still don't know how to caption the photos. Whatever.
First thing we did today was go to Stephen King's house. Of course we got lost first, but we did find it. Apparently, he does not like it when you go to the door and ask for coffee, so we did not. But there must be several rubberneckers a day. Check out the bats and spiderwebs on his gate. It's like a cartoon house. There was a vehicle in the driveway with a black cat sitting on top. No shit.
Up the road to Freeport. This town has not only L.L.Bean, but a fancy little village of outlet stores. L.L.Bean was fun to see, but the place is like freaking Disneyland. Nice walking around the town. We were trying to find Ian a pea coat. No luck. Yet another seafood lunch. I had clams.
We got to our motel earlier than planned. Too late to cancel and drive on, so we needed something to do. I did some research and found sunset schooner cruises in Portland. Back in the car, 25 minutes to Portland.
Portland is beautiful. Seems young and vibrant. We went to an organic-type grocery and got a picnic lunch and set sail on "Bagheera". She's 85 years old and has sailed every one of them. There was no wind, so not such an exciting sail and we couldn't go as far, but just lovely. The crew were 3 young personable guys. One guy, 23 years old, actually was born and raised on Martha's Vineyard. Has already sailed to South America. Totally looks like one of the Kennedy's. Even though the wind was calm, it was interesting to watch them set the sails and stuff. Lots of work really.
It was a nice way to end things. From here on in, we're just making our way back to Halifax.
