It’s a pretty amazing place, even in a dense fog. We’ve just been here a day, but already we’ve met the famous Monica, a Peruvian lady from Lima famous for making chocolate things – a well deserved moniker. She blew off my question about how she got here with a wink, "It’s complicated." Up the Street, I ate my first Lobster of the trip. So all-in-all, it’s been a productive day. The tv at the restaurant was filled with Soccer things. Spain won, I think [I never cared much for soccer, but I’m glad someone won]. They seemed pretty happy about it. And as for America’s Easternmost lighthouse, it wasn’t "on." I guess they aren’t much needed anymore in these days of GPS and Radar, but on a day like today, one can see why they came in handy. The fog out at sea is alive with the sound of fog horns [out of tune with each other]. On the next report we hope to solve the mystery of Monica’s travels and the origins of "Horror Hill Lane"…

| Actually, West Quoddy Light is on 24/7, but faces the sea and is barely recognizable as a light from the land during the daylight hours. |
| I am guessing the street is named ‘Horror Hill’ because in the winter when it is covered with ice, there is not much stopping a driver from sliding down the steep hill and into Johnson Bay. |

In other news, the house next door to us in Georgia burned to the ground today. Our neighbor was at work:

As your daughter, I’d like to thank the firemen and/or women of Jasper for containing that fire.
