Maine - summer vacations

Maine meaning so much for me. Its coast is one of the places for summer vacations with white sand, blue ocean, indeed, this is a nice place that Michael and I visited. Maine is a state in the New England region bordering New Hampshire state to the east and to the north with Canada. New England region has 7 states: New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Rothe Island, Massachusetts, Conecticut and Maine.

OGUNQUIT, Maine
I love Ogunquit town, one of the well known place for vacations. Its name come from the Micmac Indians. There are many places with Indian names such as: Massachusetts, Conecticut, Missisippi, Queeche in Vermont, Kennebunk etc

The Marginal Way (1 mile) is a path along the beach, where we could enjoy the nature with lots of sea birds, flowers, trees.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine

Kennebunkport is another town of Maine. It is known as the location of the summer home of former US president George Bush. The place is called the Bush compound.The entrance is guarded by secret service officers, though visitors can see the driveway leading up to the main house and a circular driveway, in the middle of which there is the American flag flying. We walked early in the morning the Ocean Avenue which is lined beside the beach, after 4 miles we saw the Bush compound.

We went to Goose Rocks Beach a quite place, with white sand and many things to do....

My first experience doing canoe. I was so nervous!...

...but Michael was fine.
