Maine: Part II

After we spent our first day walking along the rocky shores of Maine, the next day a trip on the sailboat was in order.

Now, I love the idea of sailboats- they look awesome, they're adventurous, they get you out into the beautiful sea- but I am not built to be a sailor. I get queasy really easily. On our last trip I really almost got sick, so this time I took some dramamine. It definitely helped, but there were still a couple of iffy moments, though sailing along the coast was beautiful, and we had some yummy sandwiches.

Then we went to get some lobster at the Five Islands pier- oh, I love this place! It's just what you would picture when you think of Maine. I mean, look at the view!

They bring up fresh lobster in these lobster traps every day- many of the locals around here are lobstermen:

Then the lobster are served up fresh and steamed with butter right on the pier. This time, I tried the lobster roll- very yummy! All that lobster and no work. Though I did miss the melted butter. Even better, ice cream is also sold right on the pier. :)

The next day, we headed to Reid State Park- a lovely little Maine beach, a rare sandy treat along the rocky coast.

Kevin and his mom braved the 60F waters (which was actually the warmest it's been in a long long time), but I settled for dipping in my ankles :), and taking pictures of the seagulls:



And ourselves:
