"It was impossible under the circumstances to preserve my appearance of abstraction and,
blushing furiously, I said that it didn't matter at all."

maine

i just got back from a week in maine, spending time with my parents
we flew in from opposite ends of the country and met up at the airport
then we drove up to picture perfect camden....
green, gold, scarlet leaves
rocky coastlines
rolling green hills
lobster, lobster, lobster!
amazingly fresh oysters, haddock, lobster rolls, clam chowder...of which i probably ate a little too much...or i guess i never can get enough clam chowder...
little towns
lots of rain
cosy cottage
cheery belated birthday celebration (where an opera singer sang to me!)
lovely maine...it was all so impossibly beautiful and quaint, i couldn't believe it was real
i didn't want to leave...
