Day 6

Up at 6 - that's 5 for you on Central time! I had a great run around Harrison with a spectacular view of the lake. Our breakfast was wonderful and we have enjoyed getting to know our hosts. Barb and Ray bought the B&B last October and have 7 kids from age 15-26. We highly recommend the Greenwood Manor Inn! Rachel met us at the entrance to Camp Pinecliffe and we were off to Portland. In Maine, pedestrians have the right of way, as long as they are in a crosswalk. This is great when you're walking, not so much when you're driving. We reached the waterfront area and enjoyed all the shopping. This is not your typical souvenir junk. There was a large selection from imported items to local artisans. I think I bought something in the first 3 stores I visited. Lori had been singing the praises of lobster rolls so we found one for lunch - taking an expression from a friend of mine, we vowed to "eat nothing from the hoof" We also are avoiding all food South of the Border. We were getting a view of the harbor and Rachel knew I really wanted to see the ocean, so she got us headed in the direction of the Atlantic. The houses on the beach front were idyllic. Screened in porches and a short walk to the beach. I could handle it. It was nice wading in the surf and hearing the ocean. I could have stayed all day. After some R&R @ the B&B, we went to the Lobster Pound for dinner. This was my first full blown lobster experience! Another great day!
