Summer 2012 - Maine

Goodness we have seem some beautiful country these past few days.  Maine is no exception.  I think New Hampshire is my favorite though.
One thing I need to comment on.  The people we have met and with whom we have come in contact have been wonderful and friendly.  I probably said that in another blog, but it's so true.
The country is beautiful.  We are so blessed to live in this beautiful world the Lord has seen fit to give to us and especially, we are blessed to live in this great country and enjoy the freedoms that were fought for and won for us by our brave and inspired forefathers.

 We went to Kennebuckport, Maine to start our sight-seeing.  We waded on the beach for about10 minutes. It just so happened the beach we stopped at wasn't very nice.  It had much seaweed and smelled bad until we started wading.  Then the salt air neutralized the smell.

We saw beautiful homes along the shore.  

This is the Bush Complex at Kennebunkport.  Wow!!!!!  Evidently President Bush was well loved by the people of Maine!

 We went on a light house tour at Portland, Maine Casko Bay.  Portland has it's on history with John Smith.  Mr. Smith mapped the coast of Maine.  He kept the original Abenaki names, but one of the inlets was renamed Elizabeth after the English King's cousin.  Actually, I tried to google this information, and had no luck finding it.

This is a fat harbor seal we saw during our lighthouse tour.
