Since being in Maine I have met several people but have made two really neat friends. Shirley and Clara! Well, we planned a trip for a girl's day out. Shirley and Clara decided on a ferry boat ride to the Island of VinalHaven.The weather was perfect. We left Bangor at 6 in the morning! Did a quick stop at McDonald's for breakfast and Dunking Donuts for a latte for Clara. Then we did our 2 hour ride to Rockland to catch the ferry.
The ride over to the island of Vinalhaven was wonderful. warm breezes and scenic views, lighthouses, bald eagles, dolphins, deer, birds, boats and Maine's coastal views at it's best.
The village of Vinalhaven was quaint, as most island villages are. Half the shops were closed down for the season but we shopped in the ones that were open. We rested at the gazebo and then went to the only place that was open to eat.
We all had lobster and chowder. Shirley and my lobster was great but Clara's was mushy so she had to send hers back. After that we had dessert at and ice cream place and headed back to the ferry.
On the way to the island we saw 2 eagles one was flying and another was in the water. We thought it was hunting but someone told us it was wounded. It was there on the way back. It had managed to get to a rock but it could not fly. We asked the captain of the ferry to please call wild life rescue. and hopefully he did.
When we got back to Rockland we did alittle shopping then headed home we were some very tired ladies. It was a really fun day and some girlfriend bonding was really going on! Thank you girls for a great day.
