Our last morning. While Teague was having her cup of tea, I decided I'd try to go for a walk along the Marginal Way, the ocean cliff walk that winds it's way from Ogunquit a mile and a half East to the village of Perkins Cove. Though the weather was still very cold, the wind had died down.
Across the lawn there were gaps in the hedges with a chain link fence and gates to get on the Marginal Way.
Where I looked the path was still covered with snow and ice
Maybe it would be better on the other side of the lobster trap tree.
Nope. There were a couple of intrepid individuals with rugged hiking boots. Though I was wearing ankle boots, they were made for city walking and not rugged terrain. One woman told me that around the bend from this photo, it was clear. But she neglected to mention you had to walk up an icy hill. At my age, snow and ice are just a broken hip waiting to happen.
I would have to be content taking pictures from the Beachmere lawn over the fence
and hoping when the weather was warmer, we'd be able to make another trip to Ogunquit.
Since "The Season" hadn't started, not a lot of restaurants were open. We decided to have breakfast in the Beachmere's Restaurant. I was too busy being in the moment with Teague so I didn't take a picture of breakfast. This is the breakfast I had on Friday. Sunday breakfast I had scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns. I had a cup of tea served in the dark, blue mug just like Friday's breakfast
After breakfast and checking out, we headed to Ogunquit Beach to say good-bye.
There were a few people on the beach, but I felt like I had the beach to myself
A seagull yelling: Are you looking at me?
The brutal winds and tide created patterns in the sand
A couple was celebrating their First Wedding Anniversary.
We left the beach and headed South to stop at Nubble Light. Every time we are in the area on the way or back, we stop at the lighthouse. The view never gets old. At least this time we could see the lighthouse.
The day we arrived, the lighthouse was fogged in.
As we were getting ready to leave, I noticed a couple and they were blowing bubbles. As I got closer, they looked like they were packing up. I asked if they could blow a few more bubbles
and
they kindly obliged.
I enhanced the bubble using a stamp of a glass marble in Paint Shop Pro so the bubbles can be seen.
I thanked the couple for indulging me. The woman said I would remember the Nubble Bubbles.
So the first runaway trip of the year in the books. Hopefully, another trip when the weather is a lot warmer.
