Some Light Reading


Saturday was Maine Open Lighthouse Day. We have taken advantage of this event every year since it started. A large number of Maine lighthouses are opened to the public for this day that you can not normally go into. This year we went to Dyce Head Light in Castine.














The lighthouse exterior would have been more interesting with a natural finish and the views were pleasant, but the stairs were quite wonderful.

 We checked out the waterfront by the lighthouse and the waterfront in Castine itself. Castine is the home of the Maine Maritime Academy, but, except for one other point of interest, is has little there.

The other point is the country's oldest continuous use post office.


We, of course, stopped at yard sales and flea markets during our excursion. I got Tarzan and comics and a Tarzan comic.
