The weather is warming up here in Brunswick and the town is buzzing! Just a few weeks ago there was no one on the streets. Now people are opening their windows,coming out of their homes, taking walks, and visiting the little shops.
I am liking Brunswick more and more everyday. The first 'my favorite' spot I have found is the Androscoggin Bike and Pedestrian Path. Boone and I have been there quite a few times. It is nice to have some place to walk where you only have to worry about being run over by bicyclers. I had to learn the rules of the path the hard way. :o)
Here are a few other things I have learned:
1. People around here love their state! They all talk about Maine like they work at a travel agency. They seem to like when you to ask questions and are even more excited to answer. Everyone we have met so far has so much enthusiasm for this area. It seems contagious!
2. They love their Whoopies. They are on sale everywhere you look. We haven't tried one yet but we plan on doing so soon. There is a man who sits in his car everyday selling homemade ones down by where Aaron works. Our family has been making something like these desserts for years. But the Maine ones we have seen are super sized! I hope they live up to the hype.
3. They are fanatical about their Red Sox. You can see the emblem everywhere you turn. I don't even think it is just that they are fanatical about the Red Sox but they are fanatical about being Red Sox fans. I am sure they are the same way about The Patriots but we will have to wait for football season to find out.
I can't wait until Aaron and I really start to explore this place. We already have so many ideas of places we want to go and things we want to see. I will keep you posted!

Oh no! You mentioned the dreaded "P" word (patriots!). I certainly hope Maine is not going to corrupt you into liking (cough cough gag gag) the Pats! I know you're no major football fan but don't make me come up there and knock some sense into you. I'm not saying you have to be a Steelers fan, but come on.....
Glad you're liking what you see so far! More pictures please :)
Those bike trails are awesome! In MA we had a "rails-to-trails" path. This non-profit goes around and turns old railway tracks that aren't being used anymore, and converts them into walking/biking paths.. they're awesome! I miss that. :(
I'm glad that you are enjoying Maine. I can't wait to read about your adventures!
I'm so happy to hear that you & Aaron are enjoying Maine. I'm still "patiently" waiting for pictures of the house. =)
I am glad that you're enjoying your time in Maine thus far. I demand pictures (via email of course) when you get your house set up :)
