Lighthouses and a Train Ride




The directions seemed easy enough .....
Somehow, we're not sure how it happened, but we saw the Goat Island Lighthouse. While we were there we also watched a fisherman unload his lobster haul. We also talked with some other people from NY, the first used to live in Buffalo and the other couple was from Canton.
We then followed the directions to the Wood Island Lighthouse. Just seeing the coastline is worth the trip- both fantastic views.

Then we went to Portland and the Narrow Gauge Railroad. We just missed the 3:00 trip so had lots of time to look around the museum. The ride went along the Eastern Prom Park. We could see the two river lighthouses, Bug Light and Spring Point Light. We also had a view of the sailboat class and some much larger sailboats. The tracks are only two feet apart and the seats are one on either side of the train- it was fun.
