Niagara and More

  We started our day with yet another wonderful breakfast….appetizer included.  I've already been warned not to expect anything like this at home!  I suppose that means it’s back to Wheat Chex and soy milk…oh, well, it was wonderful while it lasted! Until this trip we had never stayed at...

More ME!

  We had planned to go looking for whales today, but a front came in and the resulting rain caused our boat trip to be cancelled.  So, we took this as an opportunity to further explore the Harpswell peninsulas and islands.

ME!

  We started our morning by driving over to the House of Seven Gables.  It’s a wood frame house that sits right beside the shore.  And, yes it does have 7 gables.  I counted. Interestingly, when Nathanial Hawthorne wrote his book the house had only 3 gables. That’s because the owners...
