We got the message!
On the weekends, New Hampshire and Maine are invaded by people from New York and New Jersey! The traffic on Friday and Sunday nights is amazing—almost like LA!
By 9:30 am, Mary was ready for breakfast, and I lept into the shower and threw on my clothes while she ordered breakfast for us. I had no idea that I liked 1/2 piece of burnt bacon and a glass of buttermilk.
Mary, ordering for herself, had a “simple” omelet (Dubbed the “Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata,” which includes 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar, an entire lobster, six fresh eggs, cream, chives, and lobster sauce. It’s served over a bed of Yukon gold potatoes), caviar, Wagu beef bacon, truffles with white saffron, and foie gras with matsutake mushrooms.
On the right side, I was allowed one sip of yesterday’s orange juice, which they retrieved from the porch after the cat had finished with it.
Today, we will lounge around town until noon and then drive to Colleen’s to visit Portland Head Light, a famous lighthouse on the Maine coast. Maine’s oldest lighthouse, located in Cape Elizabeth, was built between 1787 and 1790. It’s a popular tourist destination with views of Casco Bay. The keeper’s cottage has been converted into a museum with exhibits about the lighthouse’s history.
