USA Today ran an article in today’s edition titled, “Leaf-peeping is a letdown in eastern US.” I agree. The writer, Doyle Rice, blames the weather.
Tomorrow we return to Boston for a couple of days then fly home to Pacifica.
Today’s theme is lighthouses, specifically lighthouses near Portland, Maine.

Our time in Maine is coming to an end. So far we’ve eaten 3 lobster rolls. The best, by far, was at the Seadog Brewery in Camden. The fall foliage is beautiful in patches – very uneven like the rest of New England this year.
The days are definitely getting colder. This morning the temp was 28F when we got on the road. With the wind chill, who knows.
This morning we drove to top of Cadillac Mountain. We were nearly blown off the mountain, the wind was unbelivable. Rain started as we were leaving so we spent most of the day in the hotel.

The photo above shows a wild blueberry field in the foreground. The plant’s leaves turn several shades of red in the fall after the harvest.
Currently in Bar Harbor, Maine. Spent yesterday in Acadia National Park. We’ll be here another day then we start heading south – we have to be in Boston on the 24th.

We’re in Lubec, Maine – the easternmost town in the USA, and the closest continental location to Africa in the US.
Our hotel – The Inn on the Waterfront – is a converted sardine factory. It’s the only hotel we’ve stayed in that reeks of fish!
