There they sat as if atop a cake – a beautiful bride and groom fully dressed for their nuptials. It turns out that the couple had been married at Ponte two weeks earlier and returned with their entire wedding party to stomp into wedded bliss.

">Rockland, Maine – The Little Town That Could
A visit to the Maine Lighthouse Museum was our first order of business for the day. 5,300 miles of waterfront make up the coastline of Maine and more than 60 lighthouses shine brightly in an effort to keep ships safe from peril. It’s a fascinating visit loaded with artifacts.
