We've been to Maine 6/6/08

Hello All,

We loved the time we were able to spend in Maine. We explored the Freeport area (LL Bean store and all the outlets, of course) and spent a day at Acadia National Park. We especially loved the back roads we took through Vermont and New Hampshire to get there. This is a really beautiful part of the country. We tend to think of the Northeast as all urban, which is not at all correct.

We are on the Champlain Canal, which is partially Hudson River and part canal, connecting the Hudson with Lake Champlain. The locks on this canal are cleaner and easier to manage than those on the Erie.

My brother and sister-in-law were with us for a week. We took them to the airport in Albany and picked up two nieces for a few days. What a joy to share part of this adventure with family.

See you out there somewhere . . .
