Back to the USA. More Maine!
Beautiful peonies at their peak, in front of the Franciscan Guest House.
While we're looking at religious sites, look at this awesome, awesome chapel by the sea! This is St. Ann's Episcopal Church and it's the most charming little chapel I've ever seen! I went inside last Sunday (it's only open during the summer months for 2 services each Sunday) to see the inside and talked w/ one of the caretakers. The church was built in 1886-87 and has been updated and preserved several times since then. A few Bushes have been married here... and who wouldn't want to be married here? 
Here is a picture of the inside.
So, on to something very important: food! The Maine Diner is famous both near and far. I'd seen a television feature on this place on the Food Network (Diners, Drive Ins and Dives... a fabulous show in case you haven't watched it) and when I drove past it last week going thru Wells en route to Kennebunkport, I made a note to return and see what its all about. Check out their website: http://www.mainediner.com/ and look at that menu! Of course I wanted to order basic diner food, like meatloaf, mac and cheese, etc... but sadly just ordered a salad to go. The salad was great so I am going back and maybe order a lobster roll... even though I am not a big lover of the lobster.
Cute Dog Alert!
Look at this awesome doggie that I saw taking a walk along Kennebunkport Beach! His mommy was very nice and let me take several pictures of him. He even put his face thru the window of my car and let me pet him!
This little Westie also wanted to take a walk, but is too old to walk that far, so his mommy put him in a stroller!

There is a friary (monks, former monastery) in Rye, NH. It was a friary, then a post office, then a retreat for most faiths, now I think the Buddhists use it. What does the inside look like? I used to live in that area but we went to the upper room when the Pentecostals had it and I don't remember what the architecture was like. The area is pretty and there are rugosas there (Nubble Light/Cape Neddick lighthouse, Swasey Parkway in Exeter, etc.) As a writer my imagination was born in the moment when my Sunday School teacher said, "Draw a picture of what you hear in this song." She played a song and I drew a guitar and a woman singing. She said, "No, draw what you hear inside your head," and played it again. I drew rainbows, mountains, hearts and a singing woman. I had learned to imagine, there at the monastery.
