WINTER IN BATH

It is interesting during the Winter when we have lots of snow. You can navigate the roads due to excellent plowing services (they even plow the sidewalks!). You don't need reservations at the numerous fine restaurants. There are lots of dinners and house parties along with ample entertainment at the Chocolate Church and Bowdoin College. And the shopping.....wow, the sales are especially sweet. We were at LLBean the other day and were amazed at the reasonable markdowns on quality goods. We really enjoy Bath in the Winter.

Carless Stays

Did you know that it is simple and convenient to get around Bath these days without a car? The City run trolley makes trips all around the city every half hour. These trips include stops at the Maritime Museum, Downtown and through the historic District. Getting to Bath from Portland is also simple. There is a Concord Trailways bus twice a day that drops you off in Bath. The Galen Moses House would pick you up at the station of course. Then there are boat trips to have lunch in Booth Bay Harbour or in Augusta. Let us know your transportation needs and we can arrange for your travels to a lot of interesting places in the Bath area.

Railroad Rides

With the opening soon of the newly refurbished train station in Bath, taking a leisurely railroad trip to Rockport or Camden has become even easier. These are great day trips for the family and for railroad buffs. Contact us if you need more information or go to www.maineeasternrailroad.com for daily schedules and tariffs.

water sports

The Galen Moses House has been receiving a number of announcements from rafters, island tour companies and kayakers which would probably interest some of you who are planning trips to Maine right now. There has been so much rain over the past weeks that the rivers and streams are at their capacity. There are raft runs on the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers and kayaking just about everywhere. There are interesting boat trips to Monhegan Island where you watch the puffins at play. Contact us if any of this interests you.

A Great Recipe for Breakfast

The other day I tried a new recipe for breakfast which really sent the guests asking for more....and it was soooo simple. Banana Bourbon French Toast. You just dip the cinnamon raisin bread in a mixture of eggs, vanilla and half and half and cook. For the sauce you can use bourbon (or other liquor) mixed with brown sugar and maple syrup. Drop your bananas in the sauce at the last minute to absorb some of the sauce and place on top of the French Toast. What could be simpler? And the taste is "wake up time!" Just thought I would share this with anyone out there who is interested.

Galen Moses House Now Pet Friendly

The Carriage Room is now open for entertaining your canine. With immediate access to the outside, the room is especially large with private bath, double size bed and adjacent sitting room. We do add a $15 per night charge for each dog and have a set of expectations which you should read before arrival (they will be posted on our website: www.galenmoses.com)
