Into Maine

We woke up and rolled down the many stairs of our AirBNB in Boston and over to Cambridge this morning for a nice and generous breakfast at the Friendly Toast. The food was really good with amazing portions and great service. The parking was expensive as it was a business area on a weekday. After that it was up along the coast to Maine and I was not disappointed.

Our first stop along the coast was the historic Cape Neddic Light on Nubble Island. Built in 1879 the Nubble Light is one of the most iconic lighthouses in America and the world. Fancy history note that we learned a picture of the Cape Neddic Light is on the Voyager spacecraft some 13 billion miles away from the Earth.

It lived up to being very photogenic and was a cute little spot along the coast. Along this route we headed along to a fun little stop at Len Libby Candies. There we got to meet Lenny, a 1700 lb chocolate moose. Oh my oh my.

From there it was onward to our next major stop. That would be Red's Eats for some lobster rolls. Famous as a pit stop along Route 1 in Wiscasset, Maine I had been told by two co workers that this was a must stop. At first sight I thought oh not that long of a wait and than I went around the corner. Oh it was a long line indeed. So the girls I sent to wander the streets of this little seaside Maine town while I waited for a good hour or more for glorious lobster rolls. The picture shows what we got. It had been years since i had good fresh lobster and it was amazing. I will never doubt these folks again. Now I am sure other places have great lobster as well. But I had to stop at least once and try this place out. Next time maybe I try the shorter line on the other side.

The girls seemed to enjoy the lobsters but I did get to finish off 1/2 of Erin's she just could not do it. For that price I was eating as much lobster as I could. And that glorious rich buttery sauce. Oh my oh my.

After that we finished our long haul up to Bar Harbor and our motel for the next two days.
