I'm holding a hot potato and the potato's name is the State of Maine but I'm not tossing the hot potato to the next guy in the circle (is that how that game works?) because it's so hot that I physically can't let it go and also I think I'm in love?
Just to clarify, I've never been to Maine, but if this government-issued sign is any indication (which, as a sign, it really should be), it is a place that I need to go. The next time I go anywhere at all, it should be Maine. That's just the message I'm getting.
from Google Maps
Let's look at the facts:
Bar Harbor
Arcadia National Forest
The island of Vinalhaven
Sea glass
Lobster rolls
No, but really- real lobster rolls. With fresh lobster.
Lighthouses (they're real!)
Forests
Lakes
Sailboats (quickly, someone cue When You Were Lonely by ABBA!)
I could go on, but honestly, I've already wiped myself out. Just think about it. Do some image searches. Better yet, zoom in on all the little islands and look at pictures of their sweet little beaches and the people in kayaks. I guarantee you will not regret it. However, I cannot guarantee that you won't want to immediately drop whatever you're doing and escape to Maine this instant. Proceed with caution.
