Three of us took a road trip to Maine over the long weekend and it was fantastic. The easternmost point of the continental US is in Lubec Maine so that's where we drove Friday night. We got up to see the dawn from the lighthouse (earlier than anyone else in the US!) and then went back to bed. When we finally made it into town, there was a pirate invasion going on (a lot of people dressed as pirates walking around having a good time). It's the prelude to a big festival coming up. We bought some handmade chocolates and some glass work then hit the road.
The premise of the trip, after reaching the eastermost point, was to take the 1 all the way down the coast, stopping in Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and any other place that caught our eye. We also ate everything that sounded good, including the best lobster roll at Red's and some damn fine blueberry pie and soft serve ice cream.
I really loved Maine and have added it to the list of places I could live. I'd have to see a winter there, 'cause that's got to be tough, but it's a beautiful place with great people. I'll post some pics soon.

Winters on the coast are easy, because we are surrounded by sea, which holds the warmth. Inland, they received more snow last year, but southern Maine received more snow the last few years, except maybe for Aroostook County.
