July 19, 2009, Sunday PHIPPSBURG, MAINE
We went to Church in the Topsham ward today. The people were so friendly. Everyone spoke to us. The bishop gave a talk right out of the scriptures which was excellent. Today is the first bright and sunny day we have had. (It rains a lot here and that must account for all the green everywhere you look). We thought, why not check out the beach today. It was so crowded the parking lot was full and the cars were parked about a mile up both sides of the road. We went through the ticket booth and asked if we could just come in for 10 minutes to take pics ‘cause it was foggy the last time we came and we are leaving tomorrow. She said we could and we did. Beautiful day at the beach. We took off and went to LL Bean in Freeport just to look around. The home for LL Bean is Freeport and this is totally a shopping town. It has outlets for everything and was extremely busy today. They manage, however, to keep the town looking quaint with Cape Cod style architecture, etc. It’s cute, but busy.
