Losbster....mmmmmh!

So after a long start in the morning I decided to head out up the coast. I took highway 1 almost all the way up. If you are ever traveling in Maine, and you have a LOT of time on your hands take this highway. I is pretty, but slow. I drove allthe way up to Freeport. I have always wanted to go to the L.L. Bean store in Freeport, so that is what I did. I thought it was just going to be one big store... IT WAS 4! It was a campus! I was so amazed! And to beat it all...... there were NO SALES! What is up with that?!?! I drive all the way up there to go to this store I have always dreamed of going to, and there are no good deals?!?! Oh well, this trip is expensive enough.

Then, from there, after getting through all the people... becuase it was shoppers central... I kept heading northeast. I stopped in this cool town called Bucksport, where I saw this cool graveyard, and also got some neat pictures of some crab traps. Then, because the sun was starting to set, and I didn't know how far Acadia was I went to talk to the locals. I stopped in at Rosens Footwear and Apparel and talked to these two wonderful ladies. They gave me the skinny on where to get some good lobstah, and how far away I was... and some other conversation that I can't really remember. Being encouraged once again, I kept going, and made it to this cute family -owned motel called Ilseview something er-other, and decided that because it was cheaper than the KOA, and I wouldnt have to sleep outside, I would stay there... and it was glorious. A hot shower and a bed was really nice for my jet-lagged body.

Before I went to bed I decided to go fufill a second dream that I have always had, which is to eat crabs or lobster and drink beer while in maine. Although expensive... it was worth it! It was glorious. And as I sat there by myself, with juices dripping off of my fingers, I couldn't help but think about what I must look like. That thing was so expensive that I wasn't going to waste a bit, so I used my fingers instead of silverware. I got ever piece of meat that I was able to get, and was very proud of myself. It was a good night!
