It was raining and 12.6C as we departed the campground for Bath, "Maine's Cool Little City".
On the way down to the coast, we saw some brilliant colours.
We arrived at the Bath Visitor Centre in the rain, walked into town to check out some of the little shops.
After meeting up with Steve & Kathy, we were off to the Maine Maritime Museum.
www.mainemaritimemuseum.org There is so much to see & do here that we didn't cover it all by lunch time. There are several original buildings containing artifacts and displays of how the old clipper ships were built, as well as an Historic boat collection.
Fortunately, the weather was clearing up.
One building had wonderful displays & videos depicting lobstering, processing, and the Maine Coast.
You don't want to get too close to a lobster!
We drove to Georgetown for lunch, on the advice of Ed, from the Visitor Centre. He suggested the Georgetown Country Store for a great Lobster Roll. He was right - there was a lot of lobster in the roll!
It is a very non-descript old place that you could easily pass right by, but the service was good & the food was great.
After lunch, we returned to the Museum to finish viewing the exhibits. There is so much to see!
Our day ended when the Museum closed at 4:30 and we headed back to the campground. It ended up being a beautiful, sunny day!
