Unfortunately several sites were closed that we were hoping to view, but it was still a lovely day in beautiful Maine.
Oldest Lighthouse constructed in Maine-Portland Head Light on Cape Elizabeth.
Beautiful, rugged shore
Fantastic rock formation
Lighthouse seen from Portland Head Light
One of the oldest Unitarian Universalist Churches in Nation. Originally was the first meeting house or church for the entire area. The clock is the original Simon Willard tower clock (1794) and a cannon ball crashed into the walls of "Old Jerusalem" and hangs at the base of the chain of the chandelier. The ordination of the Reverend Ichabod Nichols in 1809 and his Unitarian leaning led to the First parish congregation to recognize the liberal traditions by becomin Unitarian.
Interior of UU Church
Plaques from mid-18th Century
Customs House
Old Port
Lunch at Luke's Lobster where we could look out at the port and saw a bald eagle and five or so seals. So much fun! (Couldn't get a good picture, but hopefully you can tell that this is an eagle)
Lobster boat
Eartha in Yarmouth: Eartha mimics the Earth's movements inside a weatherproof three-story glass atrium at Delorme (which was acquired by Garmin in 2016), mounted on a custom-designed, mechanized cantilever arm.

Eartha is tilted on a 23.5 degree axis, mimicking the real Earth's angle. The surface is composed of 792 panels printed from a computerized database and incorporating shaded relief and depth info, roadways and cities. According to DeLorme, it's the largest Earth image ever created.
