Today we drove down the coastline to Freeport (still in Maine) we had the fun of driving along about 6 miles of single lane motorway whilst they resurfaced the entire thing.
Freeport has a large shopping district where there are Outlets of several major chains. We even found "The British Store" which stocked everything quintessentially British which is quite interesting when you are surrounded by Americans looking at stuff we would consider common place.
The temperature is on the up here at the moment, it reached around 95 degrees (about 35 on the Celcius scale) whilst we were walking around and then went insanely humid just prior to another lightning storm. We saw quite a bit of fork lightning as we drove back to the campground.
Oh and Caz got ID'd at the local supermarket when she tried to buy alcohol.. (he he)
In the UK we tend to adopt a "Think 21" or "Think 25" policy whereas over here it's a "Think 40" or "Think 45" policy, so as long as you look under 40 you get ID'd. So in many respects, it's a good thing that Caz got ID'd... unfortunately when I tried to buy alcohol the time before, I DIDN'T get ID'd :o( So now I am going to have a beer or two and sulk about the fact that I obviously look over 40!
