Gee this summer went fast!

On July 11th we made up our minds and set out for Maine. I have always wanted to see the Atlantic Puffin and we discovered that their southernmost nesting area is on Egg Island in Maine. So we set off for Boothbay Harbor where we spent a week eating lobster on Cabbage Island, crusing at sunset and observing puffins fishing for dinner, and watching harbor seals off the side of a boat. Maine really is "The way life should be." We ate lobster and blueberries every single day and I think that Maine is very likely the most beautiful place in the world. In fact we were so enchanted that we returned on August 2-3 to look at houses for possible retirement on the "midcoast." I am sitting here in a mid-August heat wave wishing I were still there.
