We spent a few days in Portland, Maine, to see Ma’s cousin, Cheryl. Our first night we had some very delicious whoopie pies. Yummy! Did you know that whoopie pies were named because Amish farmers would yell “whoopie!” when they found them in their lunch pails?
One day, we had an awesome lunch downtown before heading to the beach. The beach was really fun. It was low tide, so I went wandering around the mud flats. I also tried to swim a bit, but the tide was so low it was more like crawling on the bottom.
The next day, we went sailing with Cheryl on her boat. It was so much fun! I helped tighten the jib, and I even took the helm for awhile. It kind of felt natural steering the boat. I also spent a lot of time at the front of the boat. I really liked being in the strong wind, even though I got pretty cold. It also felt really good trailing my feet in the water. Now, I am trying to convince Ma and Pa that our next adventure should be living on a sailboat.
On our last night, we went to the L.L. Bean flagship store in Freeport. We spent a long time wandering around the store, but we didn’t buy anything.
Becca,
You look like a “natural” at the helm on the sail boat. Loved the photos.
Enjoy your week “off” from road school.
Can’t wait to read about more adventures from Canada.
Love and kisses and hugs,
Granny
