Freeport, Maine.

On Route 88 north to Freeport, Maine. It was very foggy, usually much thicker than this, which made a beautiful trip up the Maine coast a bit more interesting, but a little less beautiful since the ocean was rarely visible.
Linsey at the aquarium inside the LL Bean store.


Linsey standing next to a very large "Bean Boot." It is unclear where the boot for the left foot is, but it is yet more proof that this is a right hander's world. Sorry Dan, John, Linsey, Shirlene and others.

LL Bean's store, by the way, if very impressive. There are three or four cavernous buildings with rack upon rack of clothing, weaponry and other outdoor-related items and things like aquariums, trout ponds and other strange things that you don't usually find inside a store.
The place is also open 24 hours a day. Which is strange.

Also, LL Bean has created a retail monster out of Freeport. Surrounding it are dozens and dozens of outlet stores for places like North Face, Burberry, J. Crew, Banana Republic and other stores. We went shopping and boosted our wardrobes a bit.
