Day 13---Met Jim and Aletha and off we were on a day of sightseeing. First onto the ferry to Peak Island. The weather was great. Sunny and a bit of a breeze.
There were lots of remnants of the civil war forts and gun bunkers. Protection of the harbor and shoreline was paramount. Then a bit of shopping and off to a lighthouse. One of many along the shore. They are still active today. A treat was in store. 
Judy got to meet a Lobster up close and personal. He wasn’t her type, so all we did was take the picture.
The light house was open for tours. I have never been in a lighthouse before. There were cooking quarters on the first floor ,sleeping on the second and third floors and the light on top. The tenders of the lights boated to work. Fine in the summer, cold and harsh in the winter.
Next to a great lunch on the boat docks and off to another spectacular lighthouse. This one was not open. 
The shore line was beautiful. Took lots of pictures. Last, but not least, a scoop of ice cream to top off the day. We said good by to Jim and Aletha with many thanks for a wonderful day. They should be tour guides.
