HAPPINESS:
is to have EVERYTHING you NEED
not the NEED to have EVERYTHING

8.2 Thursday: As scheduled, Tom and Sue picked us up promptly at 10:30 in the morning. Carla and I were just finishing our last cup of coffee outdoors, under the awning. Beautiful day again today. Next two days projected for rain. The Ward’s leave this area tomorrow as they will caravan through the Maritime Provinces. We will remain here until the 14th. As like yesterday they have two venues in mind. First will be a trip to Southwest Harbor about thirty miles south from here but will take us over an hour to get there.
The goal here is to just enjoy the area and take in the coastal Maine atmosphere. Tom has planned, after we see to our hearts content, to eat at Beal’s Lobster Pier.
They’ve been here almost a hundred years and the size and taste of their food is a testament to their longevity.

This is not a good picture I hope to have it replaced soon. A big item here is the Coast Guard. Right across the street is one of their major training and residential centers.


This was interesting. Each container holds ninety pounds of fish, why 90, I don’t know. But this is where and how the fish are kept until the restaurant needs more fish when they run low. The fishermen come in all day long and keeping them in the water in these containers keeps them fresh.  I’m sure it does not hurt to have the US Coast Guard across the street from your eatery.
Time to say good-bye to Southwest. Great food, beautiful town and we had excellent company on this trip.
