PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

 The final leg of this journey…the last 50 miles that remained

took us from the city Bangor to the town of Corea, Maine.

On the way we stopped at Pat’s for pizza and Helen’s for blueberry pie…

(our first two stops today along the road)

where the pizza was delicious…and the pie was a-la-mode.

As always we stopped so Deborah could take pictures…

(one her favorite times of day is dawn). 

We even paused at an old barn where there was an art show going on.

We lingered there a while…because some of these artists really rock!

but what kept us there the longest is how New Englanders love to talk.

Everyone we met was happy to talk about their vacations 

once they heard about ours.

Why I even had a conversation with man who parked the cars.

After all our stopping to eat…to take pictures, to visit…to see the sights

we reached our cottage in Corea…where we’ll spend the next 4 nights. 

This is the 26th different place we’ve stayed…with 26 different hosts…

and we thought what better way to end our trip 

than in a fishing village on the coast.

When one of the ladies in the Art Barn heard we were going to Corea

she told us to be forewarned…

She said the legend is that Corea is the place where fog is born.

And sure enough as our last stay in an Air B & B was about to begin 

once we entered Corea…the fog was rolling in

So it seems we’ll have 4 nights to enjoy the fog…

4 nights to relax…

4 nights to be lost in thought..

4 nights to sit back and try to remember parts of this trip 

at our age…we’ve already forgot.
