Today was the perfect day to visit the lighthouse - very clear and cool and breezy. I actually walked the 1/2 mile to the lighthouse and even climbed up the 53 steps! They were pretty shallow steps, so they were fairly easy on my knees. The gift shop was open and Ellen got quite a few postcards. So she was happy too. After the lighthouse we looked for a haddock sandwich somewhere, preferably outside on a pier, but never found what we were looking for. We settled for a grilled cheese at the Bleeker and Greer Wrap Shack up in Rockport. The sandwich was ok but the Fox Family Potato Chips that came with it were excellent (made in Maine).

We wondered what this flower was and our Picture This plant identification app says it is Silverod - related, of course, to Goldenrod.
This classic car was in the parking lot at Owl's Head light - with no identification on it whatsoever.
We need a classic car identification app!
Good potato chips!
