Re: RE: [Leica] Off to Maine, Any scenic spots this time of year

Absolutely visit the Farnsworth!!! My mom and dad live in Rockland (were
born there, and retired back up there!) and my mom is a volunteer at the
Farnsworth- it has a wonderful collection of Wyeth art; they renovated
recently, I haven't visited since the renovations, but it is one of the
best museums on the East Coast!
I think I might have a Museum pass somewhere... e-mail me privately.
