The gateway to Kennebunkport is an odd little steel frame bridge.Day one of my trip north ended yesterday in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, home of the Army War College and almost exactly mid-way between Greenville, SC and Augusta, Maine. Had a so-so salad there at a so-so coffee house, the name of which escapes me. The Courthouse Commons Coffee House is the preferred coffee establishment in Carlisle, but it was closed for renovations, an ill omen I chose to ignore.

The South Congregational Church in Kennebunkport. Erected 1838. Rev. Charles H. Whiston, minister.Day two ended today in Augusta after a brief stopover in Kennebunkport to eat an already pricey crustacean made all the pricier for being stuffed with sauteed bivalves at the Hurricane Restaurant. The little stone walls and brilliantly colored trees of New England are just as I remember them.
