LOOKING AT THE SEA

MB and I just returned from two nights visiting some friends who have a cottage overlooking the ocean on Bailey Island here in Maine. We took a neighbor kid with us to play with the daughter of our hosts, Eric and Hoa Herter.

It is a beautiful spot, up on a rocky cliff, overlooking the sea. On Wednesday night we took the two kids out to watch fireworks near the old cribstone bridge.

The photo above is Mackerel Cove which must be one of the most picturesque small harbors in Maine. The cove itself is largely a traditional Maine working harbor. There are a few moored pleasure boats but they are clearly the minority to a larger fleet of working class commercial lobster and fishing boats.

It was easy for us to relax after our busy trip to Atlanta. Could have easily stayed a week.
