Driving all over the part of Maine we are out there are so many places to pull the car over and just marvel and the different views of the Penobscot Bay. I mention this because, I do not want it to seem we are just having long, struggling drives. They are long but beautiful as well.
Nervous Nellies is somewhere everybody should see a least once in their lives.
On Deer Island off the local road you come upon Nervous Nellies. A place that sales home made, fantastic tasting jellies, jams and chutneys. There is a small cafe attached where you can partake it delicious delicacies, fresh coffee and good conversation. Along with the store, you will be reward with some of the most whimsical, fun sculpture you will have the privilege to view.the artist name is Peter Beertis and she sculpts his pieces from discarded junk. He has recreated an old west saloon complete with Bill Hitchcock still holding the dead man's hand. A general store, a old time juke joint from the Mississippi Delta, complete with old blues music playing as you walk in, are all there for you to walk around and take photos. The best of it all to see is when you follow a short path and come upon the Grail Castle made from timber with metal dragons, wild animals and knights guarding the perimeter of this
enchanted forest and entrance. Inside, we have the famous sculptor of the knights of the round table sharing a meal before the grail quest is to begin. Here you have so many wonderful photo opportunities and time to enjoy the lovely work the artist has put here for everyone to enjoy. I wish Alisa was with me as well as I am sure it would be a marvel to children. Some photos below and please follow the link.
