Day 10: Kickass Gardens

We started the day today with oatmeal, flaxseed and Maine blueberries.  We were pretty whipped from yesterday's hike and definitely sore.

Instead of a trail or anything too touristy, we decided to check out some gardens.  One was Japanese inspired and one was traditional Maine.  Ask us to spell their names, and forget about it!!  They were gorgeous.  Super colorful flowers, great smells, lots of native bees.  We saw a hummingbird too.  We ate our leftover lobster pasta on the trail to the gardens and it was fabulous.

For dinner, we decided to make Maine lobster cakes.  Like crab cakes, but made with lobster.  They were really loose and hard to form.  We made one for each of us, and saved the filling in the fridge.  Jon thinks he can whip up lobster breakfast burritos tomorrow morning.  I am sure he can do it.  Our plan for to tomorrow is a long, hard, difficult hike.

For dinner, we made traditional Belgian mussels and garlic bread.  The mussels here are the best we have ever tasted!!  They turned out great.
