We drove about 10 hours today, and here we are in Kittery, Maine with the wind blowing and the rain hitting sideways. Welcome to New England. We even managed New York City with no problems. We spent about 1 1/2 hours driving 30 miles as we circled the greater Boston area at 5 p.m.
We stopped just before crossing into NYC at Liberty Park which affords a view, albeit a rear view but a view, of the statue of Liberty as well as a spectacular view of the New York skyline. One can board a ferry from this park and go out to the statue of Liberty as well as Ellis Island which we plan to do on another trip. Ken's grandparents and my great grandparents all entered this country via Ellis Island.
Tomorrow we plan to drive north to Freeport, Maine, the home of L.L. Bean, visit Brunswick Naval Base, and visit Wiscassat, Maine where there is a little food stand called Red's, that earned the notice of the Food Network for its lobster rolls. We will be taste testing.
Ciao
