Eastport Main to Old Orchard Beach and onto Gloucester Mass

Leaving Eastport Maine once the fog cleared. The fog was so beautiful but sure was not looking forward to driving in it. As it turned out it was a beautiful day for traveling. Had to take a picture of the little fishing boats leaving Eastport it was so cool there. Then coming across a very interesting bridge on our way to Old Orchard Beach.

Upon arriving in Old Orchard Beach we checked in to the Edgewater Inn. Pat was very excited about this particular Inn as it was one that he and his other riding buds (Jerry, Dave but especially Terry) who so wanted to stay here two years ago on the Wild Hog trip they all took. BTW the picture of cigar and bottle of wine is for you Terry. As you can see the room was magnificent and the view wasn't bad either (the Atlantic Ocean). We then walked down the street having a difficult time choosing where to eat as there were so many places to choose from. As you can see we made an excellent choice. The lobster roll was fabulous although not a big fan of clams with bellies (sorry Dave) but Pat did eat them!

Pat and I actually got up at 4:30am to catch the sunrise. It was so beautiful and a great start to another fabulous day of riding. God's creation is so amazing and we have been so blessed to see so many different places.

The trip from Old Orchard Beach to Gloucester Mass took us thru some great little towns. I have a hard time not taking pix of every house and building that catches the eye. The Crows Nest in Gloucester was made famous by George Clooney during the filming of the movie "The Perfect Storm". Clooney and other celebrities pix hang on the wall. Pat and his "Hog" buddies actually stayed in the rooms above the bar 2 years ago. Thankfully (for me) we passed up the opportunity. although the bar was pretty cool. We ate across the street at a great cafe on the pier. I had some fabulous pan seared artichoke hearts with aoli` and mint sauce.

Leaving Gloucester I had to get a picture of the awesome winding roads with all the pretty houses. Also the picture of the statue of the woman and her children looking out at the ocean awaiting her husbands return from the sea! The grounds were so beautiful with all the flowers in bloom and the picture of the actual beach with all the rocks. We are now heading to North of Hartford Conn. to Spend a day or two with Pat's brother Jon. So excited about being able to do laundry (never thought I would ever say that). Pat is very excited about hanging with his brother Jon and we even got to meet his little sister Kathy and family for breakfast as they were traveling through on their way back from a wedding in Rhode Island. A very nice surprise indeed! From here we have couple of days travel heading West back to Lewiston NY for Pat's 40th High School Reunion. Very excited about having some time to spend with Pat's older brother Michael who will be released (hopefully soon) from the hospital. Till then God Bless and we are sure missing everyone. Love to all!
