I had a lot of fun in Maine. Shannon had planned a lot of great stuff for us. Her parents made a lobster dinner for us all one night. Shannon's dad had called a friend of his who owns a lobster boat and told him we wanted some lobster for dinner. At 4 am the next morning, the guy with the lobster boat called Shannon's dad and told him to meet him at the dock. They went out on his boat, pulled a lobster trap and so we had fresh Maine lobster to eat the next day.
Shannon had also arranged a surprise sailing trip for the two of us. I'd never been sailing before, so I was pretty excited. We sailed on an 88-foot schooner that was first launched in 1912.
We got to help put up the sails.
We also went on the Allagash brewery tour. Allagash is a microbrewery in Maine. It was very cool to go on a tour of such a small brewery after having been on the Coors brewery tour in Colorado, the worlds largest brewery.
We spent one morning at the beach, but the water is so cold that you can't get in. I had a lot of fun in Maine, though I was told it's really only a good place to visit in the summer.
What?! Where did you hear it's only a good place to visit in the summer??
