Day 10

Farnsworth Art Museum

Day 10

It's 8:30 p.m. and we have just finished another great day in Maine.

Patty brags about being the first one up this morning but she was already taking a nap at 8:30! No one including me (Sharla) was moving very fast after our adventures on Monhegan Island yesterday.

We planned on going to Rockland (a couple miles south of here) only to get bread at the Atlantic Baking Co. (recommended by our hotel host) for tonight's usual meal but ended spending the whole day there.  We spent most of the day at the Farnsworth Art Museum. We especially enjoyed the exhibit of Andrew Wyeth.  We had seen his home near Monhegan Island yesterday and it was interesting to see his works and learn more about him. 

Great seafood chowder!

Fiore' Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Place

After a bowl of you guessed it, seafood chowder, we walked down the street to the Fiore olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting shop.  They had at least 50 different oils and vinegars you could taste test.  Very interesting!  Judy and Patty went down to a park on the shore while Pam and I went to a few more shops.  Then I went to the shore and Pam looked in a few more shops. 

Owl's Head Lighthouse

Up close!

The next stop was at the Owl's Head Lighthouse.  We went down to the beach and looked for more sea shells and sea glass before heading for home.  Did I mention the high today was in the upper 60's?  Had to get out the coats. 

Because the Goodwill store was closed (we have to keep Judy happy) we stopped at the Cold Stone for ice cream and headed for the motel.  We are now having our usual supper and trying to stay awake until at least 10:00 (I think I will make it tonight)  Tomorrow we are off for Camden for their 4th of July celebration.  

Hope everything is well at home,
Love,
