One more sightseeing tour of New England before we move...We vistied the Portsmouth Lighthouse in New Hampshire
We ate at our favorite resturant "Weathervane" in Maine.The fish and chips are so good that I often forget that I hate seafood.
The lighthouse is located at a Coast Guard station and is closed to the public.We got a private tour anyway. Lucky Us!

Exploring the remains of an old fort.It is the site of one of the first battles of the American Revolution.
Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth from Boston to warn the colonists of British plans to reinforce the fort. The colonists raided the fort and successfully made off with supplies.
Go Patriots!

Even though there are over 300 lighthouses along the coast of Florida, I doubt they will hold as much historic charm as some of these old New England lighthouses. They are simply the best!
