Full and final day five in Maine,
with today's main course being whale watching. Rather than trying to
describe the trip in words, here are just a few of the pictures I
took.
Whales, like penguins, seem to love to
be photographed, well at least from the rear-end.
It was a nice time, although I did end
up with wind burns and a salty face when I returned to land. Oh, and
hair that would make Beetlejuice proud. Anyway, nothing good was
ever achieved without some hardship, and in reality, this wasn't a hardship.
From whale watching it was a final
extended Rivers family dinner at the conveniently located across the
street restaurant. Seeing as though I think lobsters are giant bugs
that simply crawl on the bottom of the sea (as opposed to, say, your
kitchen floor), that was not on my menu. For the record I was in the minority, something that, from a food perspective, I am used to (having the dietary habits of a 6 year old boy).
As for now, it's time to start packing up for the long trek back to NEPA tomorrow morning. We figure 10-12 hours between here and there, including a stop or three. The stops will include a brief pit stop at the L.L. Bean store in Ellsworth, about 30-40 minutes from Southwest Harbor. I need to upgrade my collection of socks, and what better place for that?
Peace, love, granola, high tide, green grass and lots of other nice stuff.
Good night from Maine.
