Today was our last full day in Maine. We slept in, stumbled across the road to the cafe for breakfast, then returned to the room for the day. We initially had decided to stay on the island, enjoying the view and resting up for our eleven hour car ride tomorrow, but after four hours of sitting, I began to have cabin fever and needed to get out. So we road up to Barncastle for the second day in a row for 'lupper' around 4 p.m.
The place really is good. It's much more affordable that a lot of the restaurants around here, and it's quiet and dark and has a fireplace in the bar. We had a few drinks and dinner, then headed to the local grocery store to buy a case of the pumpkin ale I discovered on our adventure yesterday. Thankfully we don't have to go through customs to get back to Georgia, because we're bringing back all the Maine-Made beer we can fit in the car.
On the drive back, we stopped to take pictures over some wild blueberry fields as the sun was setting. The drive back was peaceful as usual and made me happy that we decided to venture out.
Now we're sitting in front of our last fire, enjoying our last sunset in Maine. Back on the road tomorrow for the long hike down to Philly. Can't wait to get on the road!
