The Marginal Way

Tuesday, July 10

Well, this morning it’s threatening rain, so decided not to do the mail boat. Would have been fun though. You go around in the mail boat while he’s delivering the mail to a bunch of islands off the coast. Wouldn’t be fun in the rain though. So, I got on line and bought tickets to see “Crazy For You” playing at the Ogunquit Playhouse. And, Rue McClanahan is a guest star. She plays Mother. Then we headed into Ogunquit to walk the “Marginal Way” which starts at Ogunquit Beach and goes along the shore. Beautiful walk—about a mile one way. So we walked a couple of miles I guess. Felt good to get out and get some exercise. And, it turned into a beautiful afternoon. Of course everyone was heading to the beach in droves. But it was only low 70s, and the water temperature was 58 degrees. At least the surfers were wearing wet suits. Then back to the campground, showered, changed and headed back to Ogunquit for the show. We had dinner at the Cape Neddick Inn in Cape Neddick before the show. The show was great—lots of tap dance numbers and music by Gershwin. Only got to see Rue 3 times, but it was great. She just finished her autobiography, “My First Five Husbands and the Ones who got away”. I had to get that book! During intermission Mike bought it for me! How sweet! Driving back it was very foggy. We leave for Booth Bay tomorrow.
