On the Move
We couldn't have picked a better time of year to travel! There are few tourists getting under our wings, or stepping on our feet, so Newt and I are able to be constantly on the move. We've been checking out the best rest areas (also known as restaurants), local gossip, and got a bit of replenishment done in the process. Be sure to visit the Maine page, Local Cuisine, Souvenir Shops, and also, stand by for a really awesome tour of Star Island!
This picture is a sampling of the monstrous houses here! Tried to get a shot of the saltboxes and walkways, but Newt wouldn't go out on the limb for me this time. So much for being a trusty servant. Since when did servants have an option? He forgets his place! And then he limped off with an attitude. That's a newt for you.
Did a bit of rooting around, and found out the walkways up near the roofs are known as "widow's walks." Years ago the lady of the house would use these lookouts to search the horizon for her sailor's ship. Sometimes the ship didn't come home.
