September 26-27, 2009 Bye- Bye Lobster Feasts

Saturday we left our bayside campsite in Belfast, Maine and headed south towards other adventures. We drove through Freeport the home town of L.L. Bean. We stopped at their stores and the surrounding outlet shops, close to 100 other stores on the mile or so long street. All of the stores look fairly new and in keeping with the New England look, brick paved sidewalks with granite curbs. Fun place, loads of shoppers, think we were the only ones without a purchase in our hands. Enjoyed our last lobster lunch, bisque and the ever popular lobster roll, not sure we will ever think of lobster quite the same YUM!!!! We then drove another couple of hours to Saco just shy of the Maine boarder; this was just outside of the better known Kennebunk area.

Sunday morning, it is raining, really raining, kind of a nice change, we said our farewell to Maine, drove through a corner of New Hampshire and on into Massachusetts. We stopped in Salem thinking we would go see the sights, but just couldn’t seem to find a camping place. We thought it was probably wise to get through Boston on Sunday afternoon and avoid any crazy Monday morning traffic. We camped for the night in Plymouth, MA. a lovely campground, in a heavily wooded area. We spent a relaxing afternoon/evening listening to the rain and taking it easy watching football and just sitting around (with Jack D.) this is the life
