Suddenly or not so suddenly the hills became less treacherous as we rolled into the posh seaside resorts of Rockport and Camden. The high point of the day was finding Moody's Diner, thanks to a lady we asked for directions at the top of a hill in Waldoboro. She was planting spring flowers and was quite startled that we hadn't heard of Moody's, which was back DOWN the hill and apparently in every travel magazine in the country. Started in 1927, the place used to rent cabins out at $1/night. Our server at present-day Moody's, Jill, steered us toward a mobile exhibit of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and not only loaded us up with the best Reuben sandwich ever created but filled our bottles with ice water and road advice. Only two stiff hills, she told us, between there and Rockport.
Jill and Mike at Moody's. Don't miss the Reuben.
We didn't take the detour to the mobile memorial, having spent hours in the permanent one in Washington one rainy morning, wondering why our country has failed to learn the lesson of Vietnam. So many lives lost on both sides for no gain. Bumper sticker of the day award: MAKE AMERICA KIND AGAIN.
This is so nice!
