Really nice!

Can't wait to see photos of the summer cottages along the coast. Please send some like where "Bruce the shark" visited during summer season. I like those quaint little villages like Cape Cod. Lobster stew, mmmmmm. :P

Hey thanks, and to dbigtex56 as well!

I actually lived in one of the Beach houses along Ferry Beach in Saco during the off-season about a year ago. I have to say, it's nice to have an entire street (of 4 houses) with yours being the only one being lived in for a number of months without the swell of tourists, traffic and everything... haha. Can't say much about lobster though. Any food whose price may change on a daily basis is kinda not for me. :D

Now, back to those photos...
