Pemaquid Point Day 7 Sept 23


We set off early thinking that we would have a quiet Sunday drive through Boston but it was not to be. If that is what it is like on a Sunday, we could only imagine a week day. Certainly the "big dig" where millions were spent has not made a "big" difference, We arrived at about 3:30 p.m. and put on our walking shoes for a walk to one of the many lighthouses along the north east coast. What is it with the Captains of the time. Instead of making the poor lighthouse keepers climb up countless stairs in a storm with their candle in hand to light the lamp, why not simply stay away from the rocks. Imagine living in an almost inaccessible place on your own where the job description is "Light the lamp once a day".Saw this sign along the way "Slow Village Ahead." Or was it "Slow. Village Ahead"Go figure!
