Eating our way around Maine, one lobster at a time

Now we are back in London, which is bit grey and overcast, it would be very easy to forget our wonderful holiday at the end of our Stateside stay.  After we left the Samoset, we headed south to Falmouth to visit Eamon's ex-colleague Edward and his lovely family.  Edward and his wife Emily have got it sorted - they moved away from Boston and their busy lives and now live with their growing family (little Henry is only 9 weeks and Theo is 3!) in a wonderful big house 5 minutes walk from the seaside.  Jealous?  I should coco!



We hung out with Edward and Emily and paid a visit to Portland but after 3 days said goodbye and headed further south still, to Kennebunkport.  To be honest we had wanted to go to the Vermont lakes, or maybe the New Hampshire mountains, but Zoë's inability to cope with a car journey longer than half an hour would have made such a long trip impossible. 



In the event, Kennebunkport was pretty cool and Eamon even managed to get his hair cut by the same barber that cuts George Bush (Senior)'s hair!  And, just for a change, I ate some lobsters.  Well, you gotta make hay whilst the sun shines and at $5 a pound it would've been rude not too.  I am going to miss my regular lobster feasts almost as much as my Law & Order: SVU marathons on USA.  Happy times.   

I ate a lobster and it was THIIIS BIG!
