| We had a great picnic in the
little park adjacent to the lighthouse. |
 |
| And, of course, Harley is always
the "chick" magnet, especially the little ones. Harley
never met a "little people" that he didn't like. He was so
sweet with this precious little girl. |

| Before leaving Pemaquid, we paid
a visit to Colonial Pemaquid State
Historic Site, located at the entrance to Pemaquid Harbor. This is
one of the earliest sites of European occupation in North America and was
used as a seasonal fishing station as early as the 1610s. It was the
location of a permanent village settled between 1625 and 1629. In 1677,
Fort Charles, the first of three forts on the site was built. Extensive
archaeological excavations have unearthed 14 foundations of 17th- and
18th-century structures and the officers' quarters for Fort William Henry
and Fort Frederick. A museum displays hundreds of artifacts found on
the site, dating from prehistoric times through the colonial period.
The site also includes an early 20th-century reconstruction of Fort
William Henry. |

| Beauty is everywhere you look
when driving along the Maine coast. |
 |
| We camped at Shore Hills
Campground in Booth Bay, Maine and attended the United Methodist Church on
Sunday morning, August 5. |
 |
| It was a lovely little church
but very few were in attendance. This church, like every other
church we have attended since we have been in New England, had a female
pastor. |
 |
| There are lots of little lobster
shacks along the highways. I particularly loved the name of this one
and the sign that said, "Me and my old crab live here." |
