Day 8–Moorings Oceanfront RV Resort, shipyard,downtown and meeting old friends in Belfast Maine

Ron is feeling better and the swelling  in my foot has finally resolved. Today we ventured into town first stopping at a walking bridge that was once the main road in the area.

After walking on the bridge we decided to take the  City of Belfast Harbor Walk that takes you through a shipyard and into town. It is a fairly long way and mostly uphill but I figured this was my chance to see if I could walk that far with my foot behaving itself.

 

There were a variety of boats being  rehabbed  and this one caught our eye. Someone has a whole lot  of money.

The City of Belfast is very quaint with historic buildings and many little shops.

        

There are multiple art galleries and  artisans with many different displays of local talent  in the city.

 

                             

           

 

                                 

We enjoyed poking around the city then headed back to the CG. At 5 pm a Happy Hour was held on the lawn overlooking the ocean. Free beer, wine, soft drinks and water were served by the CG owners and  many of the campers brought snacks. It was interesting meeting new people. I always tell Ron that there is only six degrees of separation in life and it was proven not once but three times today. We spent time speaking with one woman from  South Carolina, who talked about how she ran into the same couple not once but six times on a trip she was on going across country. She asked us where we lived and when we told her she said the couple they kept running into was from Raynham also. Turns out, those people are  our neighbors down the street! Such small world we live in!

Earlier in the day the man to our left stopped by and offered us his firewood because he was leaving. Ron was happy to take it and began talking with him. Turns out he knew many of the people Ron knew because he also had worked in the food service industry.

Then later in the  evening I was standing on the steps of the MH when I noticed a couple walking their dogs. I kept looking at the woman and she at me when all of a sudden we both realized we knew each other. They were both former patients of mine. What a surprise.!!  We were happy to see each and sat and chatted for  a while. Again, what a small world.

 

It was an interesting day to say the least running into so many people that had a connection to us in some way no matter how small.
