Lunch for two - the scallops literally melted in your mouth at The Sea Basket in Wiscasset.

This is a great example of a typical Maine home; they add on and add on again. Some are even connected to the barn!
Another home with many additions.
L.L. Bean Flagship Store
Canoe paddle door handles - no locks! Originally L.L. Bean had no locks and today they are open 24 hours so they still don't need locks on the doors!
A-1 Diner
We had dinner at the A-1 Diner in Gardiner, Maine - the next day I took a picture and yes, that's our truck!
LUNT'S Lobster Pound
A family run restaurant that was very friendly with the waitress helping us eat lobster correctly! A lobster "pound" is a casual restaurant where the lobster is cooked and eaten outside. The pound is a salt water tank where the lobsters are kept until cooked; an authentic pound would be near water where the fresh salt water could continually wash over the lobsters.
Boiling wood-fired lobster pots right alongside the highway in Trenton, Maine.
My dinner...
Yum!
This wooden shark was hanging from the end of a house... I laughed and had to take a picture! Is he hanging there to keep the hummingbirds away?
There are many family or small community cemeteries along the roads of Maine.
Another house that has been added onto - notice the garage/barn is attached. Scott and I counted 8 additions!
We asked the local librarian about the houses and as families grew, they added on and people stayed in the same home for generations. We saw one home with a plate that said, "Built in 1847".
Goldenrod
Pitch Pine
Planter filled with kale and mums - love how this looks!
We added 7 more states - Vermont, Delaware, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Nevada!
