Lubec- West Quoddy-Eastport

Monday, September 27th - Happy 88th, Uncle Mike and Happy Anniversary, Jack &Angie!  We celebrated those events by heading east...to Lubec, which hails as the easternmost town in the US, the lighthouse at  West Quoddy, the eastern most point in the US, and Eastport, the eastern most city in the US!  Why the eastern most point is called West Quoddy is easily understood when you realize that somewhere there is an East Quoddy, but not as eastern as West Quoddy. Ayuh!  FDR's retreat - Campobello is across the waters from Eastport, but a passport is required now to go there.  Go figure that one, too.  In Eastport, I wanted to get a shot of the fisherman statute.  When we were there two years ago, I had taken lots of photos only to find I hadn't put film in the camera, which is why I've switched to digital!  I saw Peavey Library on the hill and wanted to see inside.  It was beautiful with its old wooden bookcases, fireplace, and leather chairs.  I could have holed up there for hours.  They had a special section that contained old geneology records for the area, but it was in a secured room which would require the librarian's assistance.
