There have been fierce winter storms recently in some areas of the United States. In the aftermath of the storms a bunch of people in Washington DC organised a snowball fight on twitter, so the locals could venture out after being cooped up in their houses during the storm. The snow was flying around but one cop took exception to how he was faring, with perhaps a few of the snowballs being too tightly packed! Anyways he decided to pull a gun on his snow flinging tormentors as you do I guess, only problem being that several people filmed him doing [View Full Entry]

Great Day at Acadia National Park today. Left last night at around 12:30 and arrived in Bar Harbor around 6:30am. This was a great time to get in since the sun hadn't come up yet. We drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain first, but due to the stormy weather at that altitude visibility was about 15 feet. Not to mention it was icing out and had about 40mph gusts so it stung your face!! Once we left Cadillac mountain and passed the amazing waterfall shown (we stopped and took lots of pictures of course =) ). This was one of [View Full Entry]

This was a trip I took with friends from Montreal back in May of this year. Lebanon (NH) is a great place to make a pit stop for lunch. Be forewarned, it might take hours to get out of that place, especially if you have women passengers!!! I shall not say anymore ... Another POI is to stop at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in Waterbury (VT). Made it down to Ogunquit Beach. Had our dinner at the famous Barnacle Billy's (Perkins Cove) restaurant. Had this delicious coconut flavoured ice cream cone at Sweet Wonder (Perkins Cove). BTW, it's the [View Full Entry]

This was the last day we went exploring in Maine. We wanted to visit the ocean one last time before we headed out to our next designation - The Great Smoky Mountains. We headed to Portland to see the head lighthouse on Cape Elizabeth. After we found the park we were greeted by four tour buses and wind that would blow your clothes off. After we spend time at Cape Elizabeth and Ft. Williams we headed down the coast. [View Full Entry]

Over a month ago I had the pleasure of enjoying my first strange event near my new home on the Eastern Seaboard. After years of training from watching Gilmore Girls, I moved to Maine with the expectation of odd East-Coast-small-town festivals and celebrations. Not that Minnesota is oddity-less, take the Garlic Fest or the Annual International Eelpout Festival as proof. A few weeks after my arrival in Maine, I had my first shot at interesting: the Great Bangor Rubber Duck Race. The thrill of the race was [View Full Entry]

The next few days we spent driving around and just taking it all in. This is the best part of being retired. No pressure to meet a schedule. We took a trip into the mountains one day. We took a trip to Ft. Popham and Popham Beach one day. And we finished by taking one day to visit Cape Elizabeth and Old Orchard Beach. Once again pictures say a thousand words. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much I have enjoyed taking them. [View Full Entry]
