Portland Head Light

My friend Jay had recommended that we go check out the Portland Head Light, one of the most photographed lighthouses - if not the most - on the east coast.  It was an easy drive from the campground, and he told us there would be plenty of parking for the RV.

It was a sunny day and perfect weather.  Not too hot, but warm with a nice breeze since we were close to the ocean.

The lighthouse is marvelous - white, with a red roof and black trim around the light.  Down below, waves crash on the rocks and seagulls fly up above.

After checking out the lighthouse, we took a walk along a cliff path with beautiful views of the shore and then down to a beach.  We all searched for treasures.  Both Henry and I found sea glass and I found some shells, while Ruth and Jeff found some shells as well.

Afterward, Henry, Ruth and I built a sculpture of sorts with the rocks on the beach after seeing some that other beachcombers had built. 

Then we headed back to the RV and fixed ourselves lunch.  It was a buffet of sorts:  we picked our way through crackers, kielbasa, cheese, grapes, cherries, peanut butter sandwiches, apples and drinks. Bellies full, Jeff started the RV and we headed back to the campground.
