Last week we decided to take a drive up to Belfast, Maine for lunch. Here are some images.
Stopped in Wiscasset, Maine for a potty break at the boat launch. The famous Red's Eats wasn't even open for business yet. (When we left, after strolling around a bit, there was a line at Red's Eats, 30 minutes before they opened at 11:30 am)
Mr. Downeastdoingstuff, aka Birdman, lingered here....
Finally arrived at the historic, waterfront village of Belfast.


Quaint shoppes (note the quaint spelling) and eateries.
Had to stop at Perry's Nut House. (Some think Mr. Downeastdoingstuff aka Birdman was born here. I can attest to the fact that he was not. Wishes he was, but he wasn't)
I stopped here over 25 years ago on my way back from a workshop at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle and bought a pair of gold sanddollar shaped earrings, my favorite. After a while, the 'gold' wore off and I had to discard them. Hoped to replace them, but the inside of Perry's Nut House was not as I remembered it. Plastic lobsters and dog poop, magic tricks, and, of course, NUTS, (They are big on nuts, it would make any man green with envy) but no jewelry.
I need to find a better source for my fine jewelry.
There's money here......

Mussels in wine sauce...yum.
The weather was around 80, sunny and breezy. A perfect day with my sweet Birdman.
