Sharp's Travels

It was only 40 degrees when we woke up this morning. After breakfast we headed back up to Kennebunkport. As we turned onto Ocean Ave there were more neat looking little shops everywhere you looked. I was good and didn’t ask Gay to stop. We neared the coast line, the views were gorgeous. Walker’s Point came into view and we stopped to get a picture of former President Bush’s summer residence. It stuck right out on the point. Their view must be marvelous of the ocean and shorelines. What a place!
We headed back towards Ogunquit. I spotted a General Store/Antique Shop. We pulled in to check it out. It had a number of old time gas pumps and antique cars outside. The old barn was over 200 years old and the beams were made of full logs with the bark still on them. It was filled with beautiful antiques. It was fun to look at them all.
We checked out Perkins Cove by Ogunquit. It was another neat little seaport, lots of shops and rental places.
We continued on down Shore Rd to Cape Neddick Light Station. It was built in 1879. It is not accessible to the public. There is the keeper’s house with a covered walkway that connects the keeper’s house to the tower. The tower if 41feet high and built of brick about 18 inches thick and reinforced by an outer shell of iron sheeting. There is a cable trolley which stretches from Sohier Park to the island. This was used to transport supplies from the mainland to the lighthouse station.
The ocean view from here was beautiful. We walked around on the big rocks along the shoreline.
We made our way back to Wells and stopped for lunch at Wells House of Pizza. It was real good. Sunday is pizza day and since we have been traveling pizza days have been few and far between.
We rode up to Sanford to check out Marden’s. They have a little bit of everything along with lots of quilting material. I picked up a few supplies to go with one of the projects I’m working on.
Back at the 5th wheel it was NASCAR racing on TV. I got Gay away from the racing for a little bit, so he could get a haircut.
Gay has uploaded pictures of the day. See album: Wells
