Saturday 13th – All About a Sandwich

And all will become clear. Forecast for the middle of the day wasn’t great so we had an early walk. As well as the view from our terrace, this house is beautifully situated right next to some woods by the estuary, so made sense to enjoy them early.

Then a plan to go sightseeing along the coast, but stymied by:

1. Everything closing for the season, including Shaw’s lobster shack in New Harbor and the Seagull Cafe on the coast; and

2. The rain – which Maine is well known for.

Then to the sandwich, which was dinner.

World famous lobster shack in Wiscasset – visited by Lionel Ritchie and Paul Newman to name 2. Note the queue on a damp and cold Saturday afternoon for a lobster roll. $25 each, so the most expensive sandwich we’ve ever had, but one was ample for dinner for two – 1 – 1 1/2 lobsters in each one, and absolutely fantastic.

Final “arty” shot:
