Arrived late afternoon with Chuck waiting with a bottle of Moet in hand to welcome us. Spent the next two days with them showing us the real Maine including lobster fishing villiages, coastline with Lighthouses. we drove into Canada to look at Franklin Roosevelts Summer Home on Campobello Island.
Chuck and Doris were wonderful, putting us up and showing us around. We met locals who want to house swap with us for our summer as they are sick of snowy winters and could not believe when we told them we would love it and be happy to swap with them. We also met a US Navy man who popped in to tell us war stories one lunch. He was all dolled up because it was the US Navy's 263rd birthday. He actually survived the attack on Pearl Harbour and was quite interesting until the 30th story and Doris kicked him out.
We had our final dinner with Chuck and Doris of genuine Miane Lobsters, earlier in the day we went down to a villiage to purchase direct from the boats. Lobster wqas served freshly steamed, with hot butter and fresh corn. Fabulous !! sorry Lorraine we thought of you as it was your birthday and we know how much you love fresh Lobster, we tried to save you some but Allison had to finish the last claw.
I think Doris was sad to see us go as she enjoyed Allison's company.
Have driven to Bar Harbour today, first bit of steady rain but we are hoping it will be back to fine tomorrow. Can't find any cold weather as it seems to be unseasonable warm or all the houses are so well heated that we can't find any coolness.
FDR House
Dinner. Happy Birthday Lorraine.
