Rockport

Just after Camden we made a second visit to the huge, two level Maine Sports Outfitters. We had stopped there before but obviously there were a couple of items that both had missed. Afterwards we located our campground in Rockport - the office was closed when we arrived and we left before it opened in the morning. So on the way out we left $40 in an envelope, wrote thanks and left our phone number.


In Rockland we visited the Farnsworth Art Museum. On our trip up the museum was closed for renovations and so it was put on our list for the return home. Along with MAINE in America and CONTEMPORARY Maine the museum is home to the wonderful WYETH FAMILY in Maine exhibit. Showcasing works from three generations of this family of American art, the Wyeth Center offers visitors a comprehensive survey of the Maine related work of N. C. Wyeth, his son Andrew and Andrew's so, Jamie. N. C. Wyeth was the foremost illustrator of his time, whose work enriched children's classics such as Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe.

Since we were retracing our trip Susan felt a need to revisit the knit shop in Damariscotta and a little shop in Wiscasset where she wanted to buy another hair clip. On a previous blog was a picture of Red's Eats where the lobster roll contains more than a whole lobster. 


We didn't sample one then but we did yesterday along with a couple of crab cakes. Some kind of good!  Just in case, those are Farnsworth stickers on our shirts.
