About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Belfast

In mid-April, with winter still hanging around, we drove to Belfast, and had an excellent lunch at Nautilus, which has taken over the former Weathervane, right by the water. We crossed the Passagassawakeag River, which is pronounced PASSaGAS-aWAY(and means "joyous fart" in the local tribe's language), and checked into the Fireside Inn. We chose a second floor room, which has a balcony looking at Penobscot Bay. This is an excellent motel, with pool, sauna, hot tub--off season, we had this facility to ourselves. Our dinner in the Ocean's Edge restaurant, attached to the inn, was excellent. None of this was expensive. On the way home we stopped for lunch in Lincolnville, at McLaughlin's Lobster Shack, by the ferry to Isleboro. Always a winner.
