Wednesday, June 15th. 

We took our provided breakfast basket down to the Shore Path and had a picnic before walking the entire length in both directions. In town we saw them loading passengers onto the four masted Margaret Todd. We had to leave so I couldn’t wait to see it with all the sails up, so I found this photo on the internet. Then we packed up and headed out towards Ogunquit, Maine about 4 hours south. The route took us via a couple of highways that connected with I-95, which is the highway that goes all the way to Florida. Who knew it started at the New Brunswick – Maine border? On recommendations from two of Shayna’s friends, we went straight to Perkins Cove, parked, and had a late lunch outside on a patio overlooking the harbour at Barnacle Billy's. We each had a 1.5 pound lobster…absolutely DELICIOUS, and shared garlic bread and coleslaw. The entire area of Ogunquit is wall to wall hotels, shops and restaurants...but beautiful. After lunch, we did the Marginal Walk, a path alongside the ocean that lead to town and eventually crossed a little bridge to get to a huge beach! We walked along there for a while wading into the cold Atlantic Ocean, before retracing our steps back to our car. The entire walk took two hours. The we finally drove to the hotel, the Rose Blossom, we booked earlier and checked in. In the evening we went for a walk about town and bought a bit of fruit.
