July 13 - Campobello Island NB

Maine.  Maine.  Maine.  Fantastic drive up the coast on Hwy 1.  It’s picturesque.  It’s quaint.  It’s charming.  We spent quite some time in a small town called Camden which is so gorgeous.  We were delighted that the whole day today we did NOT see a Walmart, just small boutiques in every town we passed, along with bay after bay on the Atlantic Ocean.



When we got to Sullivan ME we saw a small sign for a book and bake sale at the local library so stopped in and bought some books and some bakery goods; then we had lunch and some of the said bakery goods in the parking lot.  What a treat!


We were almost sad when the road ended in the easternmost town in the US – Lubec ME – and we crossed the FDR International Bridge to New Brunswick.  There was no line-up at the border and we just sailed through; all the border crossings should be so easy.  We are staying on Campobello Island tonight as we want to go to Roosevelt’s Cottage tomorrow and explore the island a little bit.  To get off the island we will have to take a ferry to Deer Island.

Here are two Canada Geese diving for their dinner.
