On Sunday, we drove around Dover to take some pictures. This is the famous Leaning Barn of Dover. | | And here's the local covered bridge. We didn't take a very good look at it, because it was so cold and windy Sunday that we didn't spend more than 5 minutes outside the car. |

| | Dover is a mill town. The mill has been converted to office space, but they left the smokestack. |

We climbed up this green tower to get a view of Dover, but didn't stay up more than a minute or so. Although it was sunny, it was very windy, and, as they say out here, "wicked cold". | | The bundled up figures on the right are Sylvia and Eric. |

Chris and Judy pulled off their scarves so that they could actually be recognized. | | The Dover Delite ice cream shop, closed for the winter. |

The Loyal Order Of Moose in Dover. | | We took a drive up along the Maine coast, and stopped a couple times along the way. This couple crossing the road provide a graphic illustration of how cold it was. |

This is a lobster pier that Chris and Judy have eaten lobster at a few times. Eric and I learned that a lobster pier is a place you can go to where you can buy steamed lobster, bring your own side dishes, and eat right there. | | Another beach park that we stopped at, driving up around Maine. Only Judy and I got out. Eric timed us--we were out 4.5 minutes before we got too cold to continue. It's funny to smell the ocean smells, and see snow at the same time. |

| | We also stopped at the Nubble Light House in Maine. Judy stayed in the car, keeping it warm for us. |

The lighthouse has a cable trolley to the mainland. Previously, supplies were transported to the lighthouse via buckets hooked on the cable. | | On our way back home, we stopped for lunch at a cafe in Portsmith. |

This is the view from the back of the cafe. | | Judy was telling me to keep an eye peeled for a widow's watch, and we finally saw one. It's the glass-enclosed structure built at the very top, where the "widow" can look to the sea to see if perhaps her husband's ship has come in after all. |

Back at the apartment, we have some hot cocoa. | | This is Chris and Judy's new car, a snazzy Toyota Corolla wagon. |

This is a chair that I thought might look good in miniature. | | Eric, Judy, and I went for a walk around town Monday morning, and checked out the covered bridge again. Most of the construction, especially roof, looks pretty new. |
