  6. Going to the beach . . . in Maine?

    Blog: Brewster House News - 30 July 2009

    For first time visitors to Maine it is a bit surprising to see the quizzical looks from locals when they ask where the nearest beach may be found. You see, once you travel north of the southern Maine areas of the Yorks, Wells and Ogunquit, there are very few places with sand beaches. In fact, the rugged and rocky coastline is one of the most attractive things about the Maine coast!The relative rarity of sand beaches, and the particularly cold temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Maine make beach-going and swimming somewhat less common than in warmer climes.

  10. Climb to the Clouds

    Blog: No Borders - 19 July 2009

    Somerville, Mass - Now that I have cycled across Africa and I know how to change a flat tire, I finally feel comfortable calling myself a "biker".  Plus, I have the gear now, so that pretty much settles it.That said, I'm not sure that I will ever again ride the distances that I did over the winter and spring. I enjoyed the training - I really did - but it was so time-consuming. And while I would like to do some more long-distance bike tours, I would prefer a route that averages 50 miles a day instead of 100 miles a day.

  11. A Glimpse Of Boston

    Blog: Curves and Levels - 17 July 2009

    A five-hour drive through Quebec's Eastern Townships and the mountainous terrain of northern New England brings one from Montreal to the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts. It was my new proximity to the USA's eastern seaboard that led me to pay a brief visit in the late summer of 2007 Although two to three days doesn't give one much time delve too deeply into Boston's past, but just to arrive there and walk the town's center allows history to soak in by osmosis.

  16. Empty Nest Syndrome

    Blog: No Borders - 30 June 2009

    Somerville, Mass - There has been a lot of activity in the back yard this week. A nice cardinal couple moved into the tree near the back door. We have named them Cardy-Girl (after the long-time owner and occupant of the pink house, a lady whose ghost certainly lurks in one form or another) and Daddy-O. The nest is high enough that you can't see inside, but this week it became apparent that the egg(s) had hatched. Those little peepers make quite a racket!
