If you want a nice photo of the lower Maine coast,  how about this one?

This was taken from the garden of the Ogunquit Art Museum. It’s a small museum, with an interesting history, located in the magnatourist town of Ogunquit south of Kennebunkport. It features a selection of American art by a group of artists, many of whom gave connections with this area. Here are a couple that I thought worth showing.

And from the sculpture garden.

Dinner tonight at Chez Rosa in Kennebunkport. There are hundreds of restaurants nearby and the debate as to which deserved our business went on and on. I chose Chez Rosa arbitrarily and said this is where we will go. I expected pushback. There was none. Hake baked in a pastry shell, ratatouille,  and more. Another 5  stars.

The rest of the day – just hanging out. NYT crossword. Reading Michael Shaara’s classic Killer Angels, which I am trying hard to enjoy (but think I will give up because details of the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg are of no interest to me). Taking a morning walk in humidity I was surprised to find in Maine.

Watching the hopeful results in the second part of the French voting. Hoping we can learn from that here. Same thing with Iran. All you need is turnout.

Tomorrow,  our Rhode Island friends join us. In the meantime,  we learn one of our Massachusetts friends, whom we are to see on Thursday eve has COVID.

So our visit to their house in South Dartmouth MA may be limited to a drive-by waive.
