Bangor

It started last night and when we woke this this morning it was still raining. Not enough to spoil taking Shadow for his morning walk. The weather man said that we were in for a warm front followed by a cold front and the temps would be below normal but didn't say what normal was. Today was our day to drive to Bangor and take Shadow to Petco for a bath and grooming. After breakfast we were able to leave - I say able, some days it's just tough to get going in a small RV - by 9:15 and we were on the road for the 30 mile drive.

We really didn't get to see so much of Bangor since we were on a mission but did pass through it's twin city of Brewer before crossing the Penobscot River in to Bangor. What I remember is that the ships used to sail up the river and haul lumber out of Bangor but that's all gone now. Not a sight of any type of river wharf. What we were looking for was Stillwater Rd and Petco. Our GPS led us to the store and we left Shadow with the groomer after telling her how we "thought" he should be trimmed.

Now we dialed in a Dunkin Donuts that took us farther up Stillwater past the Petco. When the nice lady said that our destination was on the left there was nothing there except for a Walmart. We were going to do some grocery shopping anyway so we stopped at Walmart and walking in we realized that the donut shop was inside of the Walmart store, with no sign. So after shopping we both had a vanilla latte and a donut with our shopping cart right next to our high top table.

Our next stop was back on Stillwater to Edward Jones where Susan was to sign some needed papers. After that we decided to go back to the 5 Guys we had just past and stop for lunch. Finishing small burger it was just past one and Shadow wasn't due to be finished until 2:30.

So, what to do for another hour plus? As we had approached the Petco we noticed a small Nail Salon and Spa and we talked about the need for a pedicure and manicure for Susan. So we went back again on Stillwater and stopped in front of the Salon. Susan went in and, surprising us both, they said "Right Now".

Afterwards we picked up our child and drove back to the RV Park in Trenton The rain had stopped and  it and a light fog was starting to set in.

A wonderful day in Bangor and we enjoyed traipsing back and forth on Stillwater Street.

I wasn't going write a blog today but Susan didn't want me going to sleep at 8.
