Damariscotta, ME
I got 2nd place in my new age category. Erin didn't place since she's still in the kiddie group with all the fast young'uns. I got $5 toward lunch.
The middens. Basically the trash heaps of the native americans from 1000-2200 yrs ago. Enormous piles of oyster shells and other discarded stuff (such as broken pottery, bones...). Now a lot of soil has covered it and mixed in and tons of vegetation and trees grow on it so you don't really get a sense of how expansive these rubbish heaps are except that the ground is all oyster shells.
One of the pride and joys of the Maine State Aquarium in Boothbay Harbor, the blue lobster. The also had a half and half lobster (blue and orange), an orange lobster and a 23-pound lobster.
Another pride and joy of the Maine State Aquarium: the dogfish. I got to pet a shark!
My prize lunch. :)
The attack-speed fish, revisited. (Belfast, ME)
New Belfast buddies.
The day ended with a free rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. It was the end of the day and they were giving them away! It was soooo delicious.

Beautiful Maine! Looks wonderful :)
fun times. what's up with that fish bike?
if you peddle slowly it is like unto a one of those fish swimming leisurely through the sea. if you peddle rapidly, you are in "attack speed" and the jerky tail movements mimic a one of those fish going in for the attack out in the wild. it's pretty real.
