Maine = pretty

We have lived in New England for 7 years but hadn't ever been to Maine! There wasn't any good reason except perhaps my complete distaste for driving on highways and to avoid highways AND get to Maine; well, it is a 4 plus hour drive. Anyway, we drove up yesterday and wow. Just, wow. We did NOT stop at any of the outlet stores and we didn't stop at any of the intriguing antique stores or little boutiques. We did go for a beach walk, visit a lighthouse and eat some fried clams.

Our Maine drive started in Kittery. Then we drove to York where we stopped for a walk and visited a lighthouse. We were driving historic Rt. 1 so the next towns were Wells, Ogunquit, Kennebunk and etc. We drove thru Kennebunkport (which was settled in 1642 so lots of old stuff to look at). Lunch was at a place called Mikes (there were loads of cars with Maine tags; a good sign) and then we home. We will go back when we have more time....there was a ton of stuff that we didn't have time to investigate but it sure was a great day.
