Most people were surprised when they learned we were going to Maine for ten days. Why Maine they asked. What are you going to do there? Well, it turned out there is a lot to do in Maine. And I noticed lots of people doing lots of things.

They capture the beauty.
They play in water.
They go fishing.
The make sand castles.
They read.
They share the moment.
They put toes in the ocean.
They look for whales.
They search for beach treasure.
They enjoy the view.
They explore mountains.
They watch waves.
They lean into the wind.
And sometimes they text.
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

It was beautiful, I guess it’s just not top of most people’s list of places to visit. But it should be!

It was beautiful, and I could see how it could be peaceful, but I wonder about the winters.
