On Sunday, July 26th, we left New Hampshire and headed to Saco, Maine. Saco is a small town near Old Orchard Beach where there is about a 7 mile stretch of sandy beach.
On Monday we went to the Kittery, ME to the factory outlets and did some shopping for some things we were needing. I picked up a new camera bag to use while hiking and we all got a few clothing items from some sales.
Tuesday we made it down to the beach. The water and beaches in Maine are very different than the NC & SC beaches with lots of seaweed, few shells and very cold water. Some of the beaches offer sandy areas but most are rocky with more coarse type of sand unlike our beaches with powdery sand. On the way back to the motorhome we purchased some local fish and mussels and cooked them at home along with corn on the cob and a fresh green salad.
On Wednesday we ran errands all day. Bella had to have her annual vaccinations so she would be allowed into Canada so we found a local vet to administer those too. The same day we got hair cuts, the car washed and added a Canadian package to our Verizon service in order to receive phone calls and emails while in Canada. We also treated ourselves to Soup, Salad and Breadsticks at Olive Garden.
Thursday we had an appointment with a local Cummins Engine dealer to have some 6 month maintenance on the motor home, so we rode into Portland, Maine while the dealer serviced the motor home.
Nothing major happened the rest of our stay in Saco. We went to the pool several times during our stay and as always worked some. While hear we also purchased a new HD Camcorder to allow us to take some good video of our trip. I hope to publish some video soon.
