July Visits in Maine

On July 1st, we flew to Boston and took the express bus to Portland to visit Hugh's brother and sister-in-law in Brunswick, Maine.  While there we visited the Central Maine Botanical Gardens, did some shopping and saw the fireworks in Freeport (Home to LL Bean), and enjoyed seafood and lobster dinners.

At Dave and Debbie's home also visiting was Lucy Chuying Luo, the Bowdoin College student that they sponsored for her four years in college in Brunswick and her friend Yffie.  Both Lucy and Yffie, a Cornell graduate, were mathematics majors and now work in the financial industry in NYC.  They both wanted a July Maine vacation away from NYC before returning to work after the 4th.

After leaving Brunswick on the 6th, we visited with some friends, who have a summer home in Stockton Springs on the Maine coast.

Here are some pictures of our visits:
