Rockland, Maine

After our ride Friday, we showered and headed out for dinner in Rockland, Maine. Being First Friday in Rockland, we missed the boat on free entry to the Farnsworth Art Museum. No signs and I found out about it online the next day. Doaph!!! I blame it on being tired and hungry. We ate at Cafe Miranda and had fabulous meals; appetizer of roasted veggie medley (assorted veg, wood oven roasted, balsamic, vinegar, soft cheese); dinners were Lamb Wowie (roasted & braised w/aromatic veg in their own curry spice mix, w/roasted greens, spicy tomato, yogurt, cilantro, lemon, carrot, salted onion, cilantro, cucumbers, rice and more!) and Antonio Miguel Casasanto (sauteed shredded duck w/roasted shallots, roasted garlic, sauce veloute, marsala, fresh basil, cream w/fresh house made pasta) served with homemade bread. We were stuffed and took home leftovers. Then we walked to Rock City Coffee House for some decaf. The four berry pie and some scones were calling us so we shared the pie (and took the scones home). Yum!!! There is always room for PIE. The hurricane came in as we drove home to Moody's. The rain lulled us to sleep as we hoped for a clear day on Saturday to hike in Camden at the Camden State Park. The heat broke a little bit to sleep but it was still a bit muggy.
