Day 55 August 3
Maine hospitality is really something, at least, Gary & Jane’s hospitality was! They made us and the dogs feel completely at home, and did their best to make sure we had a fun time! And we did have a fun time. We seemed to all share the same twisted sense of humor, and that made for lots and lots of laughs!
After breakfast, all six of us headed over to nearby Fort Foster. Gary and Mark rode their bikes over there, while Jane and I, and Trixie and Dax, drove over. The tide was low, and we all rode, walked, and ran all over the beach. It was a fabulous morning! Trixie and Dax were ecstatic to have total freedom to be dogs (lots of running and digging).

Our afternoon was filled with lobster shopping, lobster killing, and lobster feasting. In all fairness, our new friends didn’t partake of the lobster….Mark and I were the only lobster murderers, and we were very happy lobster murderers. Delicious!
Shopping for lunch.
Gumby & Pokey….risk-takers. Checking out our soon-to-be lunch.
Jane, the brave lobster wrangler.
Yummy little critter!
Lunch is served!
I was exhausted, and looking forward to a nap, however, Jane had other plans for us. We were going kayaking, which ended up being magnificent! The coastline was beautiful. And when it started to sprinkle rain on us, it just made it that much more sublime and peaceful. It was quite magical.
And then I finally got my nap.
After my nap, we would once again feast on another wonderful Jane-made meal of pasta and mussels. Jane was an awesome cook!
We were having such a great time with Gary and Jane, that it would be hard to leave our new friends in the morning.
