Day 10 Return to Map Day 12

We woke up in Ellsworth, ME, and drove east along the Atlantic coast. This giant Lobster Pot would have been great for dinner, but we didn't run into it until breakfast time. We passed through the many small towns, crossing the bridge into New Brunswick around 3pm.

New BrunswickJust across the boarder from Lubec, Maine is Campobello Island, NB, famous as the summer retreat for President Franklin Roosevelt. The FDR family home and grounds are open for tours and have some nice diorama style information. We took the ferry boat to Deer Island, to see the "World's Largest Whirlpool" (Old Sow), an interesting bay-size phenomenon that is totally impossible to photograph, even if you shoot an entire roll. We stopped for coffee and snacks, hopped another ferryboat to the New Brunswick mainland, and continued east.

We stopped in St John, NB, circled the town a little, and had a small dinner. We drove on into the dark and spent the night in Moncton.
