Maine!

Hey readers,

I sit here typing this in the comfort of my own living room, only barely escaping the disgusting weather that surrounded me outside. I have decided that humidity is not my friend, in fact we are enemies. Humidity is evil, not only does it ruin a good hair day, but it causes things in my house to grow mold (Mold is another enemy but that is for another post) and it tries to suffocate and drown me in sweat every time I step outside. So I have just decided to unfriend humidity.

On to a new topic that is more relevant to my life and probably more interesting to you. A few days ago my parents and I traveled only an hour and a half north of good old Shrewsbury and landed pleasantly in Ogunquit, Maine. I never think of Maine as being a good vacation spot, seeing as I did move from one of the biggest US vacations spots so we never really felt the need to travel elsewhere. Actually whenever I thought of Maine I always thought of seafood, which i don't like, and freezing cold weather, which is never really a good addition to a vacation unless you are climbing Everest. Needless to say I left for Maine with no real expectations.

As we drove through Massachusetts then New Hampshire and finally into Maine, the scenery looked more and more inviting and quaint. I had fallen in love with Maine at first sight. I should clarify, this is not an unconditional love because I will not be visiting Maine in the middle of winter nor will I venture far off the coast of Maine, although I am sure there is beauty away from the coast.

We only stayed for Thursday and half of Friday but I had such a great time. The beautiful coast and quaint, friendly towns rivaled the beauty of the great state of California. I know, I know blasphemy, but don't worry California is still my favorite it just has some competition now. I could see myself living there in the summers. That is after I marry a millionaire because there is no way I would be able to afford any house in that area, but I can dream!






These and many more were taking on this great adventure! It was very refreshing and a good way to finish out the summer. Going to Georgetown soon and I can't wait to get back on the hilltop!
