Monhegan, Part 2

July 30, 2007

I would be remiss without mentioning a few more things about Monhegan:

First, we stayed at a lovely place named Tribler Cottage. A little removed from the village's main drag, we had a wonderful little efficiency apartment, with our own bathroom, 2-person dining table, microwave, fridge, toaster and teapot. It reminded us of an old English bed & breakfast, which is strange since neither of us have been to an English bed & breakfast. Candies and a wide selection of teas in the little common room, and the main entrance hidden through a charming garden put us in that mindset, I suppose. If you want to go to Monhegan, I can definitely recommend Tribler Cottage.

Second, my fiancee ate what she described as one of the best lobster rolls ever. She got it from the fish shack, right on the beach looking towards Manana Rock. I had excellent clam chowder from the Monhegan House- don't forget to BYOB to that place, though.

Thirdly, it's well worth a stroll down the Cathedral Pines trail to see the fairy houses. I'll attach a picture or two to give you the idea.
