This summer I had the opportunity of visiting old friends of my wife in Port Clyde. That area doesn't seem to have a lot of mass tourism like Acadia does, but it has a lot of artists and notable people living in the area (does the name Jamie Wyeth sound familiar?) and it has some arty towns like Rockland and Camden, and beautiful Thomaston, a town of white houses built by sea captains, even though it is at some distance from the open ocean. I would go back, especially if it were August and I had my paddleboard.

I had forgotten the proper way to pronounce MDI. Thanks for a nice memory.

It is still my favorite trip of all time, and not just because it was my honeymoon. Beautiful. We went to Maine on our honeymoon, 13 years ago.
