Today was a pleasant trip south for about 1:40 to Christmas Cove. Again, the pictures are in inverse chronological order. We discovered that a classmate, Harry Calvin and his wife Mary were spending a couple of weeks escaping the heat of Houston by spending it in a cottage on the shore of Christmas Cove. If you can't find it on your map, check South Bristol, ME. As you have already seen from the pictures, this is your prototypical Maine harbor. Their drawbridge is a rotary span which is very rare. It opened a couple of times when we were there. Notice the dichotomy of the mix of working lobster boats and 80-100 foot yachts. There is one interesting shot of a guy rowing a wooden dory toward a multi-million dollar yacht. We had a great lunch (thanks Harry) at the Coveside restaurant. I had a bouillabaisse. Harry had a local favorite that may be unique...blackened haddock Reuben! It was a great day on the Maine coast. On the way back we stopped at Beth's farmstand for some veggies and a potted daisy for Durelle.
