Maine

Yesterday and today we are exploring the coastline of Maine.
We bagan our journey in Thomaston with Roxanne, Alexis' good friend. Roxanne, or Aunt Roxy, as AJ and Veronica affectionally called her, works for the Rockland Chamber of Commerce so we had the best tour guide we could have ever had!! Her husband Larry is a real entrepreneur! He has a school that teaches motorcycle safety as well as a company which gives motorcycle tours along the coast of Maine. If you are a rider check it out here!
These photos were taken at the Marshall Point Lighthouse AKA "Forest Gump Light" in Port Clyde.





As you can see, it was pretty foggy!

Here are some flowers ~ they were everywhere!



We ate lunch at Millers Lobster in So Thomaston. This really cute lobsterman let Veronica take a photo. We had the best lobster rolls and blueberry pie for lunch! Yummy, yummy. There is nothing like Maine lobster fresh off the boat!




Some other sites on our journey




Our last stop of the day was at Shaw's Wharf in New Harbor for a Puffin Boat Watch and a lobster dinner.


These were the guys who caught our dinner!!




Again, the fog rolled in but I was still able to catch a few photos of the cute Puffins bobbing and flying around Eastern Egg Rock.




There are biologists living on the rock working on restoring Maine's rarest seabirds. Please check out this wonderful website, www.projectpuffin.org to see the goals and the amazing achievements this organization has made in restoring nesting sanctuaties and raising public awareness abour seabirds. It was a wonderful experience.
