Traveling the Coast of Maine

Day 15:  Another Fine Day in Maine

Left Belfast and headed south on hwy 1.  One of the things we are disovering is the beautiful libraries in the small towns along the Maine coast.  Yesterday we were at the library in Belfast-a beautiful brick buidling.  Evelyn talked to one of the librarians and discovered she was from Coeur d' Alene.  We went to the library in Camden today--a stone structure built in 1928 and then expanded with a beautiful expansion in 1996. We hit a couple of local breweries today-one in Rockport called Shag Rock in a nice restaurant and then this evening in Brunswick we went to the Sea Dog Brewery-one that was included in an article in the New York Times on 36 hours on the coast of Maine.  Our other excursion today was to walk 1 mile on the breakwater in Rockport out to an old lighthouse.  Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed - permanently I guess.  Hundreds of beautiful sail boats in the bays along the coast--some very large.
