Tucked away up in the northeast corner of the United States, Maine evokes images of endless shorelines, wild forests, Stephen King, iconic lighthouses, as well as lots as well as lots of lobster dinners.
Despite growing up only 90 minutes from the state, I only visited once in my life. I was in college as well as my pal George was from there, so one weekend, we drove up to his hometown of Gorham.
Maine was always one of those places that I felt I could check out anytime so was never a rush to do so. There was always a flight to some distant land to get on instead. Maine could wait.
People tend to put off traveling their “backyard” until the end as well as I was no different.
But then COVID struck as well as there were no more flights to distant lands.
There was just my backyard to see.
So, while I was back in Boston longing for nature, I decided to finally check out Maine. My original plan was to spend a roughly ten days there before heading to Vermont then Upstate new York as well as then back to Boston.
But as the days ticked by, 10 looked to 12, which looked to 14, which looked to 21.
I just couldn’t quit Maine.
I loved the quiet, slow pace of the state.
I loved the small-town feel to the cities, as well as the fact you were never far from nature. Every city had gain access to to it, as well as there was always someplace to go hike. even tiny Bangor had parks as well as greenways galore.
I loved the food. Besides traditional lobsters as well as oysters as well as other seafood we all know about, there was excellent Thai food, upscale American, as well as creative gastronomy. There was a lot of good food in Maine and, as someone who plans their travels mostly around food, Maine was perfect.
I loved all the microbreweries. Maine is one of the best states for beer as well as I found myself bouncing from microbrew to microbrew in search of the best IPA. (The winner was Rising tide in Portland.)
And, of course, there were the people. There’s something about the state that makes everyone smiley, talkative, as well as welcoming. They’d ask you where you were from, shoot the shit with you, as well as always have ideas on where to go next. From the diner owner in Bangor to the staff at the hotel I ended up extending to my stay at to the attendant at the park — who, when I asked directions, decided that was his possibility to go into a long soliloquy on his state — to countless others, people in Maine were really nice.
My time there took me to Portland, Bangor, Camden, Acadia national Park, Moosehead Lake, as well as tiny coastal towns for lunch stops. I learned to shuck oysters. I went on a hike every day. I read lots of books. I ate a lot of delicious food. since COVID-19 closed most museums as well as indoor attractions, there was no much else to do. (But, really, who needs more than that?)
In small-town Maine, the rest of the country as well as its troubles seemed far away. A pal described it as the place for those who want to get away from society however feel like Alaska is too far. In a state where the population density is 41 per square mile (38th in the country), it seems like a perfect analogy.
Maine seems to enchant people, casting a magical spell that lasts forever. It’s no wonder so many people I know from Boston go to Maine every summer. as well as it’s no wonder why I suddenly found myself calculating how much a summer home there would really cost and, if I too, want to spend the rest of summers here.
In a word, Maine is magical.
If you’re looking for a place to get away from it all with gorgeous forests to hike, long coastlines to explore, delicious food to eat, as well as friendly people to chat with, you need to check out Maine.
Thank me later.
And send me a postcard.
