Mostly Maine

We arrived in Maine last nite and today Wes wanted to show me where he was stationed in the Navy.

Well, we weren't allowed on the base but we did see this huge airplane on the way in.

So then we drove out to Bailey's island where he lived off base, and saw some beautiful scenery. Wes said that he would move back here in a minute. I wonder if he'll mind living alone??

This is a statue honoring all Maine fisherman. It's right at the very end of the rocks that overlook the sea.

Here is a nice view of an old walkover bridge...just beautiful views wherever you look.

Next, we had a lunch of local, fresh fried clams and then set out for New Hampshire ... Portsmouth to be exact ... to try and acquire beer from the list Evan gave me.

And here we are at the first stop - Portsmouth Brewery. It's a restaurant as well has a brewery and everyone was really friendly there.

And here's a pic of some of the brewing equipment.

Next we went to another brewery - Smuttynose Browery - hehehe, funny name!! But we couldn't get in there. They only manufacture the beer there. We'll have to go to a liquor store and see what we can find tomorrow.

So tonite, as we drive off into the sunset - and to the Day's Inn to watch the debate - we travel on to seek out the rest of the New England color and to breath the cold, crisp air.

'Nite....see you tomorrow!!
