Maine, York - Monday, June 29, 2015 - Long Sands Beach

Even though it is still a little cool and breezy, we walked about two blocks down Long Sands Beach after lunch.  Nubble Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world.

 

 

Today the tide is still pretty high so the beach is more pebbles and rock than sand.

 

 

I’m guessing these are called beach roses, they smell like roses and have buds like roses but their blooms are much looser than the roses I am used to seeing.  There are quite a few milkweed plants mixed in with them, not sure if that is on purpose or not, but they are good for the Monarch butterflies so I hope they keep them.

 

 

There were some treasure hunters out plus a few hardy swimmers.

Last night the waves were crashing up to the top of those cliffs in the background, definitely much calmer today.

Flagg’s looks a little better today since it isn’t pouring down rain.  Greg found out how to get the sewer hooked up – but we are still stuck and just mostly level.

The rest of the afternoon is going to be spent doing laundry.  I think Greg went through darn near all of his clothes yesterday getting things done in the downpour.  It was raining when we left the Bar Harbor area and still raining when we got here so he unhooked and hooked us back up in the rain.

We have to get the food in our freezer and fridge used up before we get back to Indiana next week and put the coach in the shop for two or three weeks.  So, this evening we are putting together beef and noodles for supper, Robyn and Jason are fixing something to go with it.  We have steaks thawing for tomorrow night.  By the time we get through the week our cupboards should be about bare.
