About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Higgins Beach

Having stopped briefly by Two Lights State Park in Scarborough, we decided to return to this interesting area. We spent a night at the Higgins Beach Inn, an old classic a block from the popular beach. It was a real throwback, but modernized in some respects, very well managed, and cheap. Their restaurant is well reviewed, though we opted for the Rising Tide, a colorful place right by the sea at Pine Point. Turned out to be a good choice, unlike Ken's Place, where the chowder was just about all potato and the ambiance assembly line. Higgins Beach (off-season, of course) is a great getaway that is very close to Portland, but feels far off. Two great state parks (Crescent Beach and Two Lights) make it worth the trip.
