Wiscasset & Boothbay Harbor, Maine


Paula (Margaret) and I visited the villages of Wiscasset & Boothbay Harbor, ME today.

In Wiscasset we ate lobster rolls at Red's and each one contains all the meat from a one-pound lobster, and then some. You can get them served with melted butter (or mayo) on the side. We also visited a number of little village shops that were very nice.

After leaving Wiscasset we traveled just a few miles up the road to the seaside village of Boothbay Harbor.
It was not easy finding a parking spot for the RV but we did finally end up parking at a local bakery that was owned and operated by Vietnamese. They were very, very nice and after purchasing 2 cups of coffee and a very large apple fritter from them they told us we could park at their bakery all day if we wanted to.

We walked around Boothbay Harbor for about 2 hours and enjoyed visiting the many art/craft galleries and other shops. It is extremely picturesque and great for shooting photos. The sky was overcast but we got a few decent shots.

Tomorrow we will continue our travels to "who knows ?"

  2. My friends who live in this area all think the lobster rolls are better across the street at Sarah's (I am a veggie but I take them at their word). From what I gather Red's is for the tourists and Sarah's is for the locals. We go to Sarah's at least once every time when we visit Maine -- we have never eaten at Red's. LOL
