When it’s a beautiful summer evening in Maine? You head to the coast for dinner… and since we hadn’t been there in a few years, we drove to Cooks Lobster and Ale House.
In order to get to the Island where it’s located, you drive over the world famous Cribstone Bridge.
.

.
Why do I say world famous? Because it’s literally the only one in the world.
.

.
Built in 1927 of stacked granite blocks held together by gravity alone, the unique design allows high tides and rough seas to pass through freely.
.

.
It’s a marvel of engineering and has had only minor repairs since it’s construction nearly a century ago.
.

.
We tend to take it for granted in these parts but it’s actually a major tourist attraction.
.

.
Of course the beautiful coast of Harpswell and Orrs Island don’t hurt either.
.

.
Quintessential Maine fishing villages. Small, rugged and built to last.
.

Onward to the restaurant… past stacks and stacks of lobster traps.
To be continued.
