In Maine

Hi again.

Next we went to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport Maine to see the houses there.  They are more like normal houses- not castles.  We saw the house of former president Bush.  The next day we drove here to Rockville Maine.  We saw the Farnsworth and Wyeth museums with paintings by painters from New England the most famous of which is Andrew Wyeth.  Most of his paintings look like black and white pictures.  The other paintings looked too fancy compared to his simple ones.  We took a walk a mile out on a wall called a breakwater which is built  to protect the boats in the harbor.  It stuck out all most a mile in the water and led to a light house.  It was made of large blocks of granite in 1891.  Then we walked down to the river where we are staying through a field of purple flowers that smelled wonderful.  If you know what they are anyone, please let me know.  Today we went to the Owls Head transportation museum.  It was wonderful. Becky fell in love with cars for the first time in her life.  They had different engines, early cars, and early airplanes all of which they use occasionally.  Wish we had had more time there.  Wish we could see these old cars and planes in action at one of there shows.  The picture is of me in front of one of them.  Then we took a 2 hour ride on a 45 foot long windjammer into the harbor here.  We saw a few seals going by.  We love this little town.  Would like to stay longer here.  The flowers are beautiful.  We have seen Rhododendron all over and wild roses and beautiful blue and lavender flowers called Hydrangea and pink and white dog wood.  It has been hot in Main.This town has the largest fishing fleet for lobster in the US.  Every restaurant has fresh lobster.   We have had lobster in some way for the past 4  days and wonderful mussels.  We cleaned our trailer and clothes today getting ready to go into Acadia national park tomorrow for 4 days.   Do not think we will have water or electricity there.  Do not know if we will have Email either.  Will write you when I can.  Would love to here from you kids.
