Life Goals Achieved
These have always been life goals of mine:
On Thursday, I flew to Maine and on Saturday, I stuck my hand in the Atlantic. The trees must have missed the memo that I would be visiting but they were still beautiful, if yet too green.
Four days in Maine is not nearly enough for a lifetime but it was a good start. What little I saw of the state (from Portland to Boothbay on Route 1) was amazing and I can't wait to return and explore more of it. I saw lighthouses, coastline, boats of all descriptions, butterflies, brides, a human-sized lobster and Frank Santorelli from The Sopranos. What more could you ask of a weekend?
The best part was meeting Mary, my long-time online friend and confidant and a frequent commenter here. She graciously put up with me, my vegetarianism, and my raging allergies and actually seemed to have fun doing it. That's a true friend for you.
More photos from Maine can be found on my Flickr page.
- Visit Maine
- Touch the Atlantic Ocean
- See the spectacular leaves-changing-color display in the northeast

I had so much fun with you and can't wait to have you come back!! We'll head inland to see the mountains next time.
Yay, that's truly wonderful!! :D I'm so happy for you. You took some lovely photos, and I'm always thrilled when someone else is able to do something they have always wanted to do. Makes me hopeful that we all can do it!! :D
