| On the bridge over the Kennebunk |
Kennebunkport is a name you might recall from the days of the George H.W. Bush administration. The Bush family's summer home is here in this small, yuppie village somewhat reminiscent of Carmel, California. (Lots of rich white folks who play golf and own sailboats or yachts.) It's in southeastern Maine, not far from Maine's border with New Hampshire.
During his presidency, Bush hosted visits from Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbechev In Kennebunkport. In 2007 his son, George W. Bush, invited Vladimir Putin and Nicolas Sarkozy here where he no doubt dazzled the European leaders with his..um..fishing trophies. Yeah, that's it. Fishing trophies.

| That's an OLD town |
It's a quaint town on the Kennebunk River about a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. The river separates the town of Kennebunkport from the town of Kennebunk. We took a brief stroll around the part of town known as Dock Square. After that, we walked over the bridge to Kennebunk and back.
