{The Beautiful Maine}

Maine is stunning. A romance novel, a salty body scrub, a mysterious foreign country. These are the words that could almost describe what it is like. The crisp summer air tickles the skin while the smell of seafood hits the senses. People are kind and funny. It is a place of free-spirits that embrace life and enjoy life outdoors. Cargo shorts and thin cotten shirts keep cover while sporty sandals protect the feet. The European style shopping centers are quaint, and in between shops you can peek at the sea where yahts and kayaks drift into the sunset. The air is thick with folk music and laughter. Seagulls fly above off the shore. It is fairly quiet and peaceful and the streets are not completely full. The thunderstorm this particular weekend brought the rain, but it was welcome. The bars are full of happiness and home-brewed beer as people talk about how wonderful life is. Northern accents are everywhere sprinkled with a few thick Boston words. Lobster is abundant and floating restaurants atop boats invite views of sailboats and tugboats alike. Lighthouses send a historic message about U.S. coastal defenses and are very beautiful....
