Day 47: Ogunquit, ME to Windham, ME

After all our complaining about being cold, I don't want to say it was too hot today, but it was "extremely warm".
We left Ogunquit and rode north through some seaside villages to Kennebunk.

From there, we went northwest to Windham, which is near Sebago Lake. (LL Bean didn't look far to name their products!)

Something we have noticed since we got into New England is tiny, very old, graveyards in the middle of farms, fields and suburban lawns. I finally stopped a got a picture of one today. I should have tried to see dates on the headstones, but I didn't.

Another thing we have only noticed in Maine are old farm houses actually attached to the barns. It is too cold or is it that the snow gets too deep to get to the animals in the winter? Cathy?
