Maine is a somewhat isolated place hanging out in the far northeast corner of he country. It's rare that people happen to pass through Maine, it's more of a well planned destination.
Out here, not so much. Mainers are passing through here all the time for conferences, shows, travel, and visiting me for vacation. I love it! It's fun to play tourist while I have visitors, then go back to living the day to day life. I think this place is great for anyone to visit since there are so many things to do. I'm not saying this as a shameless plug to encourage more visitors (of whom I will always accept), it is a simple observation I've made with friends out here. I have an eclectic group of friends - and I mean that in the nicest way - and each time one visits I've discovered a new layer to this city .
And the first thing any Mainer does out here???
Classic pic with a cactus! See Mum below at the Desert Botanical Gardens.
Miss. Tori came out last month and I will be posting a recap blog of her visit soon. And Chica (Ashleigh) will be out in two days (AH!) and I will be writing about that as well (we have a few pretty awesome things happening).
In the meantime, you can check out posts from some other Mainers that visited last year about this time:

"We're Gonna Turn This Party Out"... by Cait (The White Beyonce)
Thanks for reading!

Agreed, Maine and Arizona are both great places to love and/or visit. I can't wait to head back to ME this summer for a much needed visit. And, that's one heck of a cactus.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment!
DeleteI couldn't agree more - getting out of here in the summer to head to Maine is a huge relief :-)
Haha! It's true! The first thing Caitlin and I did was take a picture with a cactus!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to find the pic of you two poking out from behind the cactus, because it's cute and it simply screams tourist :-P
