Lighthouse on York Beach, Maine


Well it was rainy this morning. But, undaunted, we headed out to explore the coast south of where we are (south of Portland). We went through the little towns of Saco, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Ogunquit, York, and Kittery. Drove down to York Village and York Beach. So many neat homes—some really old and historic. The beach was a zoo and of course it was packed. And lots of people were in the water. Well, of course, they probably needed to cool off—it was all the way up to 65 degrees and cloudy. Jeeze, these people are nuts. Turned around to come back and stopped at a roadside stand and bought some butter/sugar corn, blueberries, and tomatoes. Then we stopped to get something to eat at Lobster in the Rough and headed for Kennebunkport. What a neat place! Some of the homes date back to the 1700 and 1800s. And huge homes. Saw the Bush compound just outside of town. Nice place. Then headed back.
