Kennebunkport and Lobster Rolls

The book Roadfood recommends two places to get great lobster rolls in Kennebunkport, so we decided get off 95 North and head there for lunch  on our way to our stop for tonight - Boothbay, ME.  Henry also heard that President George H.W. Bush lives there, so he wanted to see his house.

It's not very easy to maneuver through Kennebunkport in a 28 foot motorhome on a good day, and this wasn't a good day.  It was packed with people.  We couldn't find anywhere to park the RV, so we drove around a bit and headed back to the highway.  On the way, we passed a deli advertising "huge" lobster rolls, and it had parking for the RV, so we stopped.  Great call.  Delicious lobster rolls and I picked up a sixpack of a local beer:  Shipyard Summer Ale, made in Portland, Maine.  Jeff also got a cup of clam chowder and said it was awesome.

For those unfamiliar with lobster rolls, there are a few versions.  All involve a large amount of lobster meat.  Some places toss the lobster in mayonnaise and some coat it in melted butter.  This deli just stuffed the hot dog-like roll with huge chunks of lobster, which was just fine by us.  Yum!

We'll eventually head back south past Kennebunkport, and a bit too late I found a place we can park the RV and take a trolley around town, so we might stop there on our way back.
