Dennysville, a Little Town on the Greenway Trail

Day #1 cycling on the #EastCoastGreenwayTrail. 25 miles so far. I started in Calais ME and stopped in Dennysville to weather the storm. I’m here already for 4 days. Looks like for a week more, and the weather is not the reason.
Strong hand wind, 40 Fahrenheit’s, 25 miles so far for almost two hours. My iPhone couldn’t stay on this “freeze” and got flat very quickly, so once I saw a library in a small town of Dennysville, I went inside to charge my phone.

From this point my trip posed till the next day because of the storm warning. It was a movie watching those night in the library, about Sidney Reilly, Russian spy, prototype of James Bond, with following discussion with knowledgeable well-read people.

Ann, a librarian, drove me in and out from Darrel’s and June’s cottage, where I was invited to stay before the weather would be suitable for cycling. It was a big plot, organic farm with a greenhouse. Ann brought something for our snack before the movie, and we share it at the church kitchen, which is next door and Ann is in charge. She showed me around, drove to the goats’ farm, where I met Sue and Alan.

Next day there was a big supper at the church, and I was there as Ann’s guest, meeting all local people. Next day a few musician came to June to practicing with their flutes, Ann passed by and came to say hello and bring me a ginger biscuit.

In the evening I moved to Sue and Alan, because we agreed about something exciting, so I’m staying another week here, and that is another story.
