We took a walk along the Presumpscot River on a cool windy day in nearby Westbrook. The Presumpscot River eventually flows into Casco Bay just north of Portland. As many times as we were in Westbrook to shop, go to the bank or do laundry, we had not taken the time to take this walk previously.
We were surprised to find this river view of several waterfalls with an old warehouse as a backdrop along the side of the river.
And a clearer view from the bridge looking up-river.
The river was flowing fast near the falls above but later it slowed down. Paul is standing on a public dock where a kayak or canoe could be put in the water. Yes, it was cool enough, with a significant breeze, to wear a sweatshirt.
We found nearly 100 ducks just swimming around near the shore in a slower flowing area of the river. Later when we passed by this same spot, there were some children feeding the ducks. Did the ducks know they were in a "handout area"?
We got some exercise and were able to take our minds off the RV mechanical issues and the uncertainty of when we could head towards home.
