Machias and Lubec, ME

 On the road-- Acadia Nat'l Park

 Our bikin' buddies: Mary and B-rad

 Second night's campsite (nice grove of trees atop a hill)

 We walked through a few beautiful cemeteries in Machias (Ma-CHI-us...) Early colonial history here, some in this cemetery were around for the revolution and took part in some of the first battles.

 Many beautiful old churches here!

 We met Rob Abraham (middle) at church--a little awesome branch we made it to--who ran a lodge next door he said we could "freshen up" in.  He ended up putting us in an really nice apartment for the night and bringing us tons of meat and chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Brother Abraham Rocks :)

 Coming into Lubec--Easternmost town in U.S.  Part of Passamaquoddy... (You know.. Pete's Dragon) I was so excited.

 We found the way to Canada!  Almost there!!!!!

 So, we got caught in a Nasty wind/sideways rain storm.  We were cold and wet, but that wasn't the real problem.  The problem is that the ferry on this route we planned is not running for another month and the weather was way too bad for any locals to take us across to the next island.  NOwhere was open in Lubec to get a bite to eat/get warm. We ended up finding repreive in a tour building office on the Wharf.  Super nice people there actually run the inn (converted from an old Sardine factory).  Are giving us a good deal for the two-night stay (the storm still hasn't let up).  Best part: Victor, the friend we made who owns the inn, took us downstairs to this periwinkle farm they have where he had tons of live lobster.  He let us all chose one for a good price :) 

 Victor, Me, and the Lobster I chose. 

 Mmmmmmm : )

We then feasted.  It was delicious.  Looks like we'll be getting out of here tomorrow with a Canadian fisherman's help.
