I had a reservation at the International Motel (http://www.theinternationalmotel.com/) which was located right on the Saint Croix river. I checked in and got a room on the river side of the motel, then asked for a recommendation on a place to eat. The clerk told I could pick from one of two places, a restaurant right next door or another further along in town.
After unloading and unpacking in the room, I checked the place next door and saw that it was jammed full so I decided to ride further into town to the other restaurant. When I got there, it was more of a bar with a small kitchen but it was local and homey so I didn't much care. I sat at the bar and, being in Maine, I asked the bartender if the lobster rolls were any good. She told me that was their specialty so I ordered one with fries.
I had never had a lobster roll before...it was tasty. Basically lobster salad (like chicken salad) on a hot dog bun. Not all that exciting but I was tired and didn't much care. I rode back to the motel, took some pictures of the river and crashed for the night. Total miles today, including my detour to the Harley dealership: 261. Total miles: 1,142.
