... are located. They are very spread out and some not easily reached by foot. Neither of us were really into shopping so about hour later we headed back to Wells taking a lesser travelled coast road that took us through the wonderful area of York, Maine. The beaches and scenery were fantastic. We finished the day looking at the Nubble Head lighthouse still operated by the US Coast Guard.

Today (Tuesday) we headed towards the White ...

The day dawned clear and sunny, and we had a beautiful drive down the coast. This was intentionally a short day, so we'd have time to spend in Kennebunkport. Kennebunkport, gee, it's fun just saying it. We made numerous side jaunts into little port towns all the way down the coast, and their harbors were all beautiful, and filled with gorgeous sailing craft, from dinghies to 3 masted schooners, to gigantic sail yachts. We even passed a wooden boat ...

joan, jeanne, and Bobo drove up from north hampton to meet us to celebrate joanie's birthday. it was so much fun and delicious (thank you tim!).

we docked The Surrender at portsmouth harbor (in NH) but drove across the bridge to kittery, maine to spend the night for a family sleep over at the Enchanted Nights. it had character, that is for sure (and they allowed dogs.)

after sailing in more rain, we were greeted with a wonderful dinner by Rick and the 1st shower of the trip (in Jane's fantastic outdoor shower). i still felt like i was rocking at the table but at least i was dry (and now clean).

the next day was beautiful (finally!) and we walked around the picturesque town of ...

... después de tropecientos años viviendo en el Reino Unido. El resultado es un glosario de anécdotas graciosísimas por los distintos pueblos de EEUU con el inconfundible humor británico y el cariño hacia su país (aunque a veces difícil de encontrar).

En un punto del libro cuenta que él ignora todos los Puntos Históricos así marcados. Primero, porque no suelen tener nada especial y, segundo, porque su padre ...

... No es el más gordo que hemos visto pero "compartir" 3 o 4 horas con él te da que pensar. Para comer: (1) bote de pringles-patatas fritas-; (2) puñados de cheerios-cereales-; (3) otra vez más pringles; (4) una coca-cola; (5) un último repaso a las pringles; y (6) chupetones de dedos que parecía que se los iba a comer. Durante las 4 horas habrá andado lo equivalente a 50 metros. Y eso contando que el padre ha estado jugando con él y con una cometa. El 90% del ...

... hemos arriesgado un poco y nos ha salido muy bien. Resulta que esta mañana salseando por internet nos hemos encontrado con un blog sobre cerveza, restaurantes y locales en la zona de Portsmouth. Hemos tomado anotaciones de las cervezas elaboradas aquí y a mi se me ha quedado grabado -sin saberlo- que su restaurante preferido, decían, era uno llamado Dolphin Strikers. Andando por la ciudad nos hemos encontrado con él y nos hemos animado a ...

... of the 75' cliff (Sue says 100- I say 50 so we compromised at 75'). When we looked down and saw the red buoy we turned near the afternoon before. We were not as close to the cliff as it appeared from the wheelhouse....perhaps 250'...and we were in deep water. It was a very starteling event, but not anywhere near a disaster. Moreover it was a proof statement that the visibility that afternoon was more like 5 boat lengths not 500' as I had ...

This was a really fun vacation. I got to know my out-of-town cousins a lot better. I hardly ever saw them, and this was really cool. We spent a lot of time at the beach, playing in the waves, and building castles in the sand. We rode the trolley into town a few times and went shopping and exploring. We cooked most of our meals in the beach house. Usually we got lobsters, and ...
