We arrived in Boothbay, Maine, Sunday afternoon and are staying at the same campground where we stayed on our first trip to Maine – also with Jim and Hope – in 1988. Boothbay is a charming town on the water with shops and restaurants to explore with boats in view. We enjoyed it in spite of rainy weather the first day. One of the places we visited was Edgecomb Pottery, an outstanding shop which also has branches in 2 other Maine towns.
We drove a short ways south to Wiscasset and ate at Reds Eats, voted the No. 1 place in Maine for lobster rolls. It was also included in 10,000 Places to See before You Die, a book Jim downloaded prior to our trip. We all agreed Red’s is a winner – great lobster and good onion rings too.
Our next stop was just a short way north to Camden, Maine, a delightful town on the water. Naturally we ate at a restaurant with views of boats at dock. And it was a pleasant, sunny day which we especially enjoyed knowing the forecast is for wind, rain, and much cooler weather.
