Our friends Dave and Barb have bought a cabin somewhere near Belfast, Maine, so we decided to explore there. You’ll have read our post on Bucksport, which was the first exploration near the cabin. We have no idea of the exact location of the cabin, so we are unrestrained in our exploration.
Belfast is a little over an hour from where we are. It is on the Passagassawakeag River (easy for YOU to say!). We headed first to the Marshall Wharf Brewing Company, given our arrival about 1pm. Great local brew in an outside/ covered atrium with a huge tank heater. Food was passable, but the beer was so good that Jim took away a growler of Florida Man IPA for later consumption. It’s gone now.
Then, of course, we walked around town. We bought cheese at the local shop; a wooden spoon at a kitchen store; a wonderful book about a helper of Rick Steves at https://www.olsonbooks.com/; and we stopped at Heavenly Yarns. Despite their best intentions, we didn’t buy any yarn. A first!
