Portland to Kittery, Maine

Today it rained and rained heavily and we had a 64 mile ride.  Because of the weather, length of ride and Jeff going into Afib yesterday, he used a rental car to drive to Kittery.  Joe, however, was determined to cycle regardless of the conditions and pedaled the whole way.  Because the next 2 days are short and the weather is supposed to be nice, Jeff plans to keep cycling.

She provided several fresh fruit choices (in yogurt or plain), yogurt, breads and muffins, and poached eggs with a hollandaise sauce.  We ignored all the cereals, and other stuff except for the coffee.  We met her 5 year old daughter and 4 year old son. It was tough leaving there.   We quickly arrived on a trail that took us out of town.  However, it took us a long time to cycle that short trail.  The first mile must have had 20 sculptures and other artsy things.  It was full of trail art and Joe wanted a picture of each item.  No sooner did we get off the trail and onto the road, we came across a classic car restoration shop.  More pictures were taken of the cars, trucks...
