Mainely an adventure... Day 2

Sorry for my delay!

Today started out back in Cape Elizabeth at the head light... Absolutely stunning. The quaint little park had been inhabited by an RV right next to the water, which I'm sure was not authorized and they beat it shortly after we arrived around 8. It was quite the campground for them!

This lighthouse was so stoic and the setting so dramatic, I just fell in love with the head light at Cape Elizabeth. The town is equally as quaint!

We found a great breakfast @ Sinful Kitchen... This crab avocado benedict with a little cholula was a great start to the day.

We made our way north and went to the cute little restaurant of 5 Islands Lobster Co in Georgetown and had some superb soft shell lobsters with our Maine brewed sodas. Could you imagine a more perfect place to enjoy drenching sweet lobster into butter? I think not.

And who could resist a chance to stop by LL Bean's headquarters in Freeport and pose with a boot? We explored the shopping district in Freeport that has developed around the multiple LL Bean shops (flagship store, hiking/fishing, home, and bike/boat/ski) and of course found a few things we just had to take home.

As if we hadn't eaten enough today, we stopped by a little French restaurant in Lincolnville that had an amazing view of the water and equally amazing scallops, onion soup and steak. Then we ended our day finally arriving at our wonderful host's house in Ellsworth. Long and delightful day!

Our Maine Adventure Begins!

We started our tour of Maine with a stop for donuts in Wells, just north of Ogunquit. These were legit donuts. Fried in lard and a delicious way to throw me out of ketosis. The honey dipped donut was a little squished and didn't look too pretty, but it was the most amazing donut I have ever eaten... And I don't even really like donuts. I would come back to Wells for the sole purpose of running my good nutrition with those sumptuous pastries.

We spent some time exploring Ogunquit (parking is a nightmare) and decided to try our first lobster roll at a highly rated lobster shack that Zach found on Yelp. Now we will hold out hope that a lobster roll has potential to be better than that, because we were both underwhelmed. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I guess I didn't expect the lobster to be chilled. I've only ever eaten lobster in one of it's warm states solo or in various dishes.

As we headed up the coast, Zach wanted to make a stop by Walker Point to catch the views that the Bush family enjoys. I only took a pic of the main house, not realizing until we drove away that all the houses on the point were part of the Bush property. All I can say is, how do I get an invite to spend the weekend there?

We made it out to Cape Elizabeth around dusk in time to see one of the most picturesque lighthouses. Quite beautiful!
