July 30, 2012 - Cape Elizabeth, Maine
What a difference a day makes! Today was totally perfect...high of 76 degrees and lots of sunshine! Our "adventure" took us to Cape Elizabeth and several lighthouses, forts, and parks on Casco Bay. Did we take many pictures? Oh yes! Even Glenn did with his pocket digital camera (which is not near as much fun as his Canon Rebel T2i SLR camera). Did I mention that it broke last week...a sad day! We took it to Best Buy here in Portland but since they will have to send it off the "geek" recommended that we wait until we get back home and let the Best Buy in Columbia send it off...bummer! At least he was honest! Anyway, we did take some great pictures and fell in love with Cape Elizabeth...what beautiful homes on the Bay! Did I say that we had a really great day!!!

July 29, 2012 - Freeport, Maine
We woke up to rain, which meant we had to switch to Plan B for today's "adventure". Plan B, you ask? Freeport, LL Beam, and the outlets, of course! And, it seemed, everyone else in Maine had the same idea! In spite of the rain and crowds, it still was fun and, as everyone we know who has been to Maine told us, you can't come to Maine without going to LL Beam and Freeport! It's quite an adventure!
Our camping buddies, aka Carolina Strollers, Floaters, and Coasters, jokingly called Glenn "Mr. LL Beam because he always "dressed the part", whether we were hiking, kayaking, or biking, so I made him pose for a picture with the sculpture of the real LL Beam!
I'm sure some of you are wondering if we decided to "help the economy" in Freeport. What do you think??? After all, we do have our reputation to uphold!!!

July 28, 2012 - Portland, Maine and Casco Bay
We saw enough of Portland, Maine and Casco Bay today to know that we will go back and spend another day before we leave this area! It was such a fun day just walking around and, of course, eating on the waterfront.
Portland is Maine's largest city and it's motto is Resurgam, or "I shall rise again." Why that motto? So glad you asked! Portland has burned down four times since its foundation in 1633! Recent redevelopment has transformed the waterfront with dining and entertainment amid the working docks, and former warehouses have become the boutiques and galleries of the Old Port district. Also, on our list to see, are the beautiful Victorian Mansions that have been built since the Great Fire of 1866.
Yes...we will be back!
