Maine - Portland to Camden

After two days of rain, we woke up today to beautiful blue skies and temperatures of about 48 to 50 degrees. Beth and Kevin headed out to see the lighthouses south of Portland. Holly and Steve roamed around Portland. Steve and Kevin toured the Shipyard Brewery while Holly and Beth hit the shops. Shipyard is amazing in the number of beers that they brew and bottle. Their beers are very good also. (The holiday brews were all out for tasting!)

We arrived at Camden to see a spectacular view of a Maine town at the foot of Mount Battie. Instead of staying at our usual Hampton Inns, we chose to stay at a bed & breakfast. The B&B is called the Hartstone Inn and is built in a historic building that was erected in the 1830s. The accommodations are delightful, making guests feel like they are at home!

During the late afternoon, we walked the streets of Camden. Many of the shops were closing up in preparation of the upcoming winter. Most were still open. The town lies adjacent to the Penobscot Bay. Most of the town centers on the wharf area.

Tomorrow, we will be heading to the top of Mt. Battie. We plan on heading south to the towns of Rockport and Rockland. Tune back in for updates.
