September 27,2010

Tonight we are in Calais, Maine. We are finally in the US and we hoped for a little least rustic parks than what we have been in since we left the states. Well, we were wishing too much because we certainly have a rustic park with a double on the rustic. We had about 6 sites to pick from and after trying one site we moved to another site. The first one was just too uneven. We would have had to do many layers of blocks to unhook and then we may have had trouble unhooking the truck so we moved to another site. This one was very soft and as I was driving the back wheels slipped on the wet grass and ground, so the differential locks and the back of the truck was having convulsions. Walt took over and he even had problems but we finally got in a good spot and we did not have to block up any of the wheels.

After eating lunch we rested until about 3:30 and then some friends came over for drinks and we went out to eat at a very fascinating restaurant along St. Andrews Bay. The restaurant was in the back of an old house. The house had a very steep roof with a black roof and black fret work around the edge of the roof and around the windows. The house was definitely a style of other old homes in this area which are located along the bay. When we went into Calais we also saw a few old houses which had been renovated and still had a lot of fret work also. The food at dinner was very good. We all had the special for the evening which was a seafood casserole. It will take me a few days to get over this rich food since I have not been eating that kind of meal for the last 6 months.

Tomorrow we hope to visit the shoreline, especially Eastport, Maine.
