The Belfast Waterfront

Yesterday was cloudy and rainy, so we hung around the house most of the day, and then went to the town of Rockland, about 20 miles away, to go to the movies.  We went and saw "Lucy," which was pretty good, until the last ten minutes, when it got pretty weird.  We had lots of company in the theatre, most likely because it was rainy day, so the other tourists needed to find something to do inside as well.  We shall be coming back to Rockland later this week for the annual Lobster Festival.

Today the Geraghtys took us down to take a nice walk along the waterfront in the town of Belfast.  Belfast has always been a nice waterfront town to visit, not near as crowded with tourists as the nearby town of Camden. They have been telling us about the newly built waterfront path, so we've been wanting to go check it out.

The first thing you notice when you park, are the very large boats they are working on in the Shipyard.  In particular, a large blue yacht named Grumpy.  When we walked by, they were polishing the rub marks off of the side.  We would have loved to get to go through the inside of that yacht.  She was a beauty!

As we walked on around, being pulled along by Saleen, the view was just so pretty, and it's so nice to see all of the waterfront sights that we never get to see.

The weather is really perfect up here.  The Geraghtys have the windows open all of the time.  It's neither too warm or too cold.

Later in the day, everyone napped, but I headed to Belfast to browse the shops on Main Street.  I totally enjoyed the mix of boutiques, jewelry shops, Maine-made products, and green stores that sold such things as flax clothing.
