Maine Fishing Villages

After coming up Highway 9 in Maine, going northeast, we arrived at the bridge of the nose on the face of Maine, at the St Croix River.  Here we were able to look across the river into St Stephens, New Brunswick.

While standing on the side of the road on Hwy 1, I took this picture of some wildflowers at my feet:

Looking out across the water to the New Brunswick side, we saw a huge cruise ship which turns out to be The World.  This is a ship of floating luxury condominiums, all privately owned.  Nothing like seeing the world without ever having to leave the comfort of home.

Wonder what it would be like to live aboard this ship?  Here is a quick little video about what life is like aboard the ship:  http://aboardtheworld.com/video.htm

We encountered this ship again, the next day at Bar Harbor and I'll have a little bit more information about it on that post.

Here is a photo of the harbor at Eastport, Maine:

That afternoon we continued around a loop on Hwy 1, eventually ending back in Bangor.  Tomorrow I will post photos of the West Quoddy Head Light east of Lubec and President Franklin Roosevelt's summer home on Campobello, New Brunswick.
