Beauty-ful, Wonder-ful Maine

 
Memories of Maine in October:  
-blueberry pancakes
-Acadia National Park
-wonder-full
-Audubon nature hike
-leaves ablaze in color
-napping on dock
-clawfoot tub
-Stephen King's house
-Bangor
-forest bathing
-beauty-full
-acorns
-red rug of well-come
-Everymoon Cottage
-seafood chowdah
-apple cider thick as chocolate milk
-crackling fires in the wood stove
-crisp, clear night skies filled with stars
-color-full
-dellicious, crisp apples
-shower the size of a walk-in closet
-homemade apple loaf upon arrival/parting gifts when I left
-pumpkin chai teas
 
     But mostly, Maine was Loon Hollow, an incredible place to stay that I found just outside of Bangor in a town called Orrington.  I went, expecting to stay for two days, and ended up staying for a week!  It was the most incredible place, run by a very interesting couple named Linda and Syl.  They rent out an incredible set of cottages on their property and were the most phenomenal hosts.  They totally spoiled me and provided an amazing experience.

Wild Turkey(s)-it's not just a line of booze!




Truer words were never stitched onto a bath towel!!
     What a fantastic week this has been.  I am rested, rejuvenated, relaxed and ready to see what other parts of New England have in store!  I can't wait to see what else is out there to find!
