Mark surprised us with a sunset cruise





We have stayed the last couple of days in the most beautiful, quaint, pictoresque, harbor town: Camden Maine.  We have enjoyed hiking up to the ocean overlook in Camden State Park which is reportedly one of the most scenic panoramic views on the Atlantic Coast.  It's magnificent looking down on the town and harbor.  The harbor is dotted with sailboats, the  church steepled skyline and the Penobscot Bay stretches out beyond with more islands than one can count.  We also enjoyed watching the sunset from Rockport  Harbor near here.  Notice the pink cast on the water.  We saw belted galloway cows for the first time.  Very unique and Janae and I especially liked walking through the town to look at the shops.  We didn't get very far though before we stopped at the consignment shops and found many wonderful treasures.  This town has many movie stars and such  so their castoffs are real treats.  The highlight was Mark surprised us all with a last minute sunset sail cruise out of the Camden Harbor.  It was cold when the sun went down but oh so worth it.  We head to Acadia in the morning and may not have internet service for awhile.
