After checking into our motel and getting organized, we four went out in search of a seafood dinner. What we found was people. We drove to the beach and found mobs of people and more people heading to the beach. This is a tourist destination and evidently all the tourists have come to Maine. We just kept driving north, admiring the houses until we found Clam Bake, a large restaurant overlooking the sea flats. No wonder people come here. The temperature is 80 while in Boston it was 98.
Now we have eaten enough fried clams to last a lifetime. The same for french fries. This place is crowded. When we first came to Old Orchard Beach in 1961, we were both horrified to see the numbers of people. You can imagine what it looks like today. I am so grateful we live each summer in Nova Scotia, where the population is sparse and you can go to the beach where it is almost empty of people. The temperature is 75 too. Evidently, people like crowds, but not me. I can't wait to leave.
