Loving Maine!

Ken was up by 6:30 and decided to ride to Mile Beach on his bike.  He parked his bike and then walked Mile Beach and onto Ogunquit Beach.  I stayed back and did some chores around Willie including getting breakfast started.  Again, we cooked and ate outside.  It was another hot, humid morning!

The beach was empty when Ken was out early this morning!



We had a thunderstorm around 10 last evening, but it didn't change the heat!  It was still in the 90's today, very warm for Maine!

We decided to head to Wells Beach again today, since we love sitting on the beach there and looking for seaglass.  It was another perfect beach day especially if you sat very close to the water to get the breeze.  We spent 5 hours there and found numerous pieces of seaglass, but not many big pieces.

When high tide is in, the water will be all the way to this sand
area in the foreground!  The changing tides are amazing!

 
Ken found this starfish and it was dead.  So sad!
This is our seaglass and pieces of shells for jewelry that we
found on the beach today!

These rocks get covered too at least 1/2 way up the hill!


 


Ken wanted to drive by the Nubble Lighthouse 1 more time to get some last photos of it and the beautiful setting.  It really is gorgeous.  Then we enjoyed some ice cream at Brown's, right near the Lighthouse.  Just a bit of advice if you stop there - order a Kiddie cone.  It is the size of a large back home and was very good ice cream.  Just too much!!!!!


What a beautiful setting.  Wish you could go out on the island!

Homemade ice cream right near the Lighthouse!


Back to the CG by 5 and the clouds were starting to roll in.  The weatherman says we will have storms later tonight, but I think we could have rain sooner. 

We passed this along Route 1 near Ogunquit.  It is an old gas station
that is now a place to get coffee, pastries and sandwiches.  What
a great way to "refurbish" an old station!  Ceiling fans in the roof
that used to cover the gas pumps.  Love it!!!!
