It's raining again with a forecast of only thirty percent chance of it. Reminds me of the national weather service forecast of a few years ago. By using supercomputers and the combined expertise of all the brainpower there, they predicted that there was a fifty percent chance of more snow that year. Think about it, fifty percent essentially means that it might or might not snow more...
Drove to Freeport. Nice little town and we were there early after waking up about daylight. Got a good parking place right in the L.L. Bean complex. Went to the Home Store, the outlet, and then to the regular retail outlet. Lots of good stuff of which none that I need or bought and neither did Gin. Overall, though, it was mildly disappointing in terms of expectations.
We found the When Pigs Fly Bakery as suggested in a guide. They had all kinds of unusual breads and samples of most. Bought some with cranberries, dates, nuts, and other stuff. It was great.
Lunch was at the local lobster pound. Gin got a large lobster and I got sea food chowder. Gin loved the butter with the lobster. My chowder was good. It was an authentic New England experience. The rain was pouring. It was chilly. We enjoyed it as an authentic New England experience.
Went back to the rv for a planning session. Discovered that the Columbus Day weekend was going to overrun the campgrounds. We moved up our timetable somewhat and decided to go to Acadia National early the next morning.
Although it stopped raining for about twenty minutes at one point, it started again and kept it up most of the night.
Off to Acadia next...
