you are playing along, that was not a planned stop.
We awoke to rain this morning. It rained while we were getting on the ferry. It raining
the whole ferry ride. You couldn't see anything out of the wet, foggy ferry windows. It
rained, and it was rough. Some people left their breakfasts on the ferry.
The ferry got off to a late start and the journey took longer than expected, so we were two
hours behind. We got off the ferry at Yarmouth and headed north
Getting on the Ferry
. We skipped alot of the Lighthouse Route because it was raining so hard, but we did see a lighthouse and some
scenery and towns. Also great conversation...are people from Maine called Maniacs or
Mainians?
We stopped at a roadside diner that had 46 flavors of ice cream, but they were out of 32 of
them. I ordered a side of poutine which is french fries covered with gravy and cheese (a
recommendation from Marisa and Jeremy). Tony ordered a side of some sort of chicken fried potatoes (seriously, fried breaded potatoes). Tony loved the poutine.
We drove until dark, but then had had enough and tried to find a room. The first exit we
stopped at had no electricity, so we continued on until we found the Tara Inn.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is not much better. Please baby Jesus let it stop
raining!!!
Tony's favorite thing so far: Poutine (French fries....good, gravy....good,
cheese.....goooood)
Megan's favorite thing so far: Maid of the Mist and no more driving in the pounding rain.
Picture count so far: 128
