It's a beautiful fall afternoon with colored leaves on the ground, multiple colors shimmering in the trees and squirrels looking for acorns under the oak trees. We went to church at the Congregational Church in town and enjoyed good fellowship and an encouraging sermon. The church was founded in 1643 so it's a good feeling to connect with such history.
We've driven up and down the southern coast, sightseeing and eating! Lobster, codcakes, clam chowder and hot apple cider are some of the treats we've enjoyed. Oh, and blueberry pancakes and blueberry pie! We walk around the RV park as much as possible because it's the only way we can continue to fit into our clothes!!
Every turn in the road is beautiful as the trees turn color. Taking pictures out the front window of the car as we drive doesn't work so well, but the pictures we have are great reminders of the beauty we see all the time. Every morning I look out the window by my pillow to check the weather. The maple tree is at it's peak and I am amazed at the color it displays. It sets my heart praising God for so much beauty.
The coastline is beautiful too. Very rocky and not at all like our beaches in California. The sand is packed down hard, almost like concrete. The fog and low-lying clouds add to the vistas. We drove around Kennebunkport and saw GH Bush's house. We also explored Ogunquit, York, York Harbor and Kittery. So much history packed into such small towns. The lighthouses are numerous and picturesque!
We did take a drive as far north as you can go and still stay in the US. That part of Maine is sparsely populated and we drove long distances without seeing anyone and there were no services except in the little towns. The colors were beautiful but the loneliness would bother me. Northwest Maine is very remote and most of the roads are private roads with gates and locks on them!
We go to Boston on Thursday, then off to New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
