The Rain in Maine....

Falls mainly all over Maine... Mother Nature has blessed Maine with days and days of rain, cloudy skies, and very cool temperatures [mostly in the 50s]. We retreated indoors and had to forego the Puffin Adventure, eating outdoors, hiking outdoors, and most other outdoor activities for most of our stay. Rain is to mosquitoes as fertilizer is to crops here.


The Maine coast is currently experiencing a Red Tide with warnings about eating mussels, European oysters and carnivorous snails [not a problem for us...] and they are cautious about clams. There is also toxic algae being blown in from the Bay of Fundy. These apparently are natural occurrences and have nothing whatsoever to do with our visit.
We ventured down to Camden Bay this afternoon for lobster rolls [make that lobsta rolls]. We've also learned how to pahk the cah...
We're off tomorrow, Friday 6/20, to Fairfield, Maine for replacement parts for the coach steps, then on to Skowhegan/Canaan until Monday. We are eternally optimistic that everything is happening and unfolding just as it should. At least that's our story and we're sticking to it since we are unable to control the weather.
