September to Maine - Day 4
We slept in. The only thing we had to do today was get home - and even that was open to discussion if we found someplace nice to stay at along the way. There was no set time when you had to be seated for breakfast. No community dining. Do what you want, when you want. So - we slept in.

September to Maine - Day 3
Although I really really really wanted to wake up before sunrise and go on another photo trip, the fact that this was a vacation (and my favorite quilt which J2 had very kindly packed and brought along) made it impossible to rise much before breakfast time. The second seating is at 8:30 at the Peacock House. We fixed ourselves coffee and puerh tea and got ready. This time, I had decided to take a few pictures of the wonderful place that we had called home for the last two nights. We would be leaving today for Blue Hill and homeward bound. I went downstairs first to take pictures. I met Dennis and asked permission to take pictures and he very graciously consented to them ...
This is the dining room. The door straight ahead leads out to the backyard, and the white retangular window is the service window to the kitchen. Straight ahead is also a floor-to-ceiling hutch with a nice collection of china and service.

September to Maine - Day 2
We woke before sunrise and tiptoed down the steps. I made puerh tea, Janet made brazilian coffee and we greeted the captain who was waiting to be let out. We had no idea that he was to be let out so we gently asked him to stay back and off we were to Campobello Island for the sunrise.
It is a very good idea to scout out a place a day or two beforehand, if you are planning to take sunrise pictures. Easier said than done. We arrived early and then proceeded to guess our way around Campobello. Luckily for us, we ended up at Herring Cove which is a beautifully arced pebble beach, well before sunrise.
