TITLE: Last Day in MA and Traveling North
June 4, 2006, Sunday. We met with our kids and grandkids to tour Boston. We got the trolley into town and visited the aquarium. Our lunch stop was at Fanieul Hall, we all enjoyed a different ethnic specialty, before we started out on a trolley tour of Boston. We returned to the Cape via the bus.
Monday, June 5. We are on our way to Maine. We packed up and left the Cape driving to Maine. Our first stop was Freeport. We walked around the town and visited the outdoor shops. Bob found some bargains. We stayed in Brunswick at a private campground.
Tuesday, June 6, 2006. We spent most of the day in Brunswick ME. A lovely town that is the home of BODAIN(?) College. We started the day locating the bike trail and began biking, a bit discourage, it was only a three plus mile one way. So we continued biking around the town. Strange as this may sound, I purchased a new bike. Bob says, “the bike is nerdy”, guess I am nerdy! It is a Specialized that has shocks
and is comfy! Yes, it is heavier, but it feels stable. Also it has a built in lock and light, I believe it was built in the Netherlands, and is very efficient. It reminds me of the bikes I rented in Europe. The bike shop is holding my “old” ‘til we return in August. We continued the afternoon by visiting the Chamberlain Museum. Chamberlain was a general in the Civil War at Gettysburg. After the war he tried his hand in politics and became governor of Maine, but he was too honest to be successful in this field….sad commentary, heh? Hb became President of the College
