Where does the time go?

Wow I can't believe that I have not posted since Thursday - yikes!!!  Ok so lets start with Friday - it was a long drive from Ithaca to Camden Maine, but such a pretty drive.  The roads were hilly, steep and windy especially with the trailer, but we were in no rush so took our time.  Once at the coast we sidetracked and took 1A through Hampton Beach and Rye Beach which as you can imagine on a sunny Friday in August were packed!!!  but oh it was so good to see the ocean, waves, beach and smell the air :-)  back on the highway it was JAMMED and crawled along across the bridge to Maine.  WHen we hit the toll booth to pay apparently we had the lucky ticket, the toll booth operator asked if it was my birthday - I quizically looked at him and said "last Saturday" he said, no charge, go ahead - yeah $1 or 2 saved.  Back onto highway 1 we again hit a massive traffic jam and for many miles were lucky if we hit 6MPH.  Lesson leaned, do not travel to the coast on a Friday!!!  Finally we made it to our Model Mount Battie Motel which was as nice and the proprieters were as friendly and helpful as any traveller could hope for.  They truly live up to their slogan "Motel privacy with B and B hospitality"  Both welcomed us, Ed took Christine around in the golf cart to decide where to park the trailer.  I don't think they were expecting the rig to be that big.  Finally they moved there cars around and had Glenn pull it up the hill into their private spot.  Hmmmm nobody thought about the massive bump in the drive that bottomed out the trailer causing it to scrape a good 10 feet of their drive :-(  felt so bad. 

After unpacking, unloading and checking out the property it was getting late and we were HUNGRY!!! So down the road to The Whales Tooth right on the coast with a lovely view of the harbour.  It was packed but we got parked and went inside to see about the wait and guess we hit it lucky as all the other parties were big but they could fit the 2 of us.  Oh boy, what a great meal, fresh fresh fresh fish right of the boat.  What a differance to the stuff we get at home.  I know, all you folks in England and Scotland who are reading this are laughing at me but really there is a such a huge differance in taste from our "fresh" to coastal "fresh"  probably a few days difference at least *laugh*  anyway we both enjoyed our meal then headed back to our suite.

Well it's now 4:05 and I'm going to head outside for a bit - will catch you up on all the excitment of Saturday, Sunday and Monday later tonight when it's supposed to rain.  At least thats what "they say" :-)
