DAY 35 MAINE

DAY 35

KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE

What an interesting and beautiful place. We had planned to go to Acadia National Forest, but when we woke up this morning, we discovered lots of fog and impending rain, so we changed our plans. That’s what is so great about this trip!

We backtracked to Kennebunkport, Maine. Wow. Seeing the rocks on the banks of the ocean were beautiful.
We went down to the dock and watched the fishermen for a while and saw these cute little boys having their picture taken, so we took it too.







We saw Walker Point where Former President Bush has his home.

We met Chris, an 86 year-old artist from Stuart, Florida. He paints in this area during the summer. He has painted several pictures of Bush’s mansion, and the ocean. His work is displayed in the Bush’s home. Here is his current work.


This turned out to be one of our favorite detours.

DAY 34 PLYMOUTH, MA

DAY 34
PLYMOUTH, MA

We arrived at Plymouth Plantation early in the day. We met the Wampanoag Native Americans. Their perspective made it clear that this was an uneven way of trade.

The early pilgrims had high ideals for freedom, but what they did to the Native Americans makes you think. We saw how both sides lived and viewed their circumstances.




We also visited the original Plymouth Rock. It is much smaller than you might anticipate. They are currently working on a way to protect it from further destruction. It is cracked.
Next we visited the Mayflower II. It is an exact reproduction of the original and has sailed to England and back. The sailors and crew had to learn how to sail in the 17th century.


Plymouth has some really pretty houses and scenery.Next stop: Maine
