We decide to take a little drive, just an hour or so up the road, where there is another covered bridge. Lovejoy Bridge was built in 1867 and is the shortest covered bridge in Maine as well as the first one built in the area. On to Andover, ME where we find the perfect place for breakfast. The Little Red Hen is a hole in the wall building that unless the bartender at our resort had not told us about we would never have noticed it. By far the best breakfast we've had all week! Homemade goods are their specialty so we must get a couple of things to go. The Whoopie Pie is the official state treat of Maine. It is a baked good that may be considered either a cookie, pie, or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them. We have to get one of those for later! The molasses cookies also look incredible so we get one of those as well. On through Rumford and back home where we prop ourselves up and chill for the afternoon and night.

Rain, Rain Go Away
Oh well. I guess the weather couldn't be perfect the WHOLE time we've been gone. We wake up today to rain but it's okay because so far the sun has been shining on us everywhere we go. Gorgeous 70 to 80 degrees during the day and 50 to 60 degrees at night.
