Maine 2023

December 7-11, 2023

Trip to Maine with Jurgen.

I visited Jurgen at his home overlooking the Back River near Boothbay Harbor, Maine from Dec 7-11, 2023. I visited Ovens Mouth Preserves and Boothbay Harbor on Dec 8, Dodge Point Reserve, Damariscotta, and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse on Dec 9, and Porter Preserve and Ocean Point on Dec 10. Very beautiful and peaceful area!

We had lunch on Saturday at King Eider's Pub in Damariscotta, ME. All other lunch places had closed by 2 as it is late in the season, but it was nice here.
