Beautiful Wonderfilled Maine

It had been 18 months since our last trip to Maine (with Nicole and Pieter that time) and as soon as we were back here, we were quickly reminded why we love Maine so much. It's the seacoasts, little harbors, the lobster bouys and boats, the lighthouses, eating the lobster, the little craft shops everywhere, etc. etc. And now we can add something new to the list....the numerous lightning bugs right in the field near camp site.

We had a nice time last night joining the German tourist family at their campfire last night. They're spending two weeks in a rented RV traveling from NY to Bar Harbor and are now on the return trip back to NYC. They had never seen lighting bugs and it added to the fun to watch their daughter's joy and delight as she caught them.

Oh yes - and another highlight of our stay in Maine was the day at Logan's in-law's "camp" on the lake with the whole family....Maureen's whole family including her Grandfather and our whole family including Brian's girlfriend, Katherine. That day was quite windy and we found kayaking on their normally mirror-like lake quite choppy. Even so, it was great fun to be out kayaking with Logan and Brian using Marc's and Diane's kayaks.

We're here for 3 more days (including today) with hopes for another kayak outing, some beachcoming, a visit to Boothbay Harbor and I'm sure more surprises!!
