Maine, Day Four

On Day Four, we spent the morning in Rockland, visiting the Farnsworth Museum, which houses a bunch of paintings and drawings by the Wyeth family (Andrew and NC), who spent their summers in Rockland. It was a lovely place.

We checked out of the Samoset and headed north some more, stopping first at the Marshall Point Lighthouse, which is also a museum. It was so lovely! It was featured in Forrest Gump and they had some cool stuff on display. On the way to Marshall Point, we drove through Thomaston, St. George, Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde. It was a moody, rainy day; just perfect for this type of sightseeing!

Pretty gatepost at Lands' End.

We had lunch at a local spot in Tenants Harbor, The Happy Clam, then ventured onward toward Bar Harbor.

We walked along the Shore Path, skipping rocks and admiring the vibrant mosses and seaweeds, not to mention the beautiful homes. Bar Harbor was very crowded, though you wouldn't know it from these pictures!

Chinese food for dinner and some ice cream in town and we hunkered down to watch the Olympics at our next resting spot, the Harborside Hotel.
