Good morning. It has been a while since we have had access to the internet. We are currently in Rockport, Maine, and it is really cool in temperature here. Since our last post on the blog, we have been to the Minute Men National Park and saw the sculpted Minute Man, which was done by the sculptor whose house we visited in Stockbridge, Mass. We also saw the house that the "Little Women" lived in, which Louisa Mae Alcott wrote about. We saw where she grew up and also Nathaniel Hawthorne. All very interesting as the Revolutionary War information. From this location, Littleton, Mass., we drove to Hampton Beach, NH. and had dinner with Larry Robinette. While he is working here, they have a condo on the beach. It is really lovely and the view that night was gorgeous. The full moon on the water was beautiful. We had a wonderful dinner at the Ashworth Hotel and a huge ice cream cone afterwards. We really enjoyed our time with Larry. We then went to Scarborough, Maine. Here we were able to connect with Anna and Dennis Carey. We had dinner with them 3 nights while we were there. It was sure fun to spend some time with our Del Webb neighbors. While here we saw several beautiful lighthouses, Portland Light and Nubble Light for a few. We went to the LL Bean original store and also visited Booth Bay, which was a cute little town on the water. Yesterday we went to a couple of lighthouses here. They were nice but not as pretty as the last ones we saw. We ate dinner last night at Pizza Hut. It was a nice change as we have been eating a lot of fish. We also tried lobster rolls and they were good. We are waiting to get a little farther up in Maine to try the real thing....The weather has been great. We have had a shower a couple of days, but overall it has been nice a sunny. It is cooler here. Only to get into the low 70's today, but no rain. We have been very fortunate as they have had lots of rain in this area this summer. We'll try to post more as we go on.
