More on Ogunquit, ME

I'm sitting in the customer lounge at Brattleboro Subaru while our Impreza gets its 60,000 mile service. 60,000 miles in 18 months. Yikes! But anyway, I've got a long wait. It's raining outside;  it isn't very pleasant for walking. So it's blog catch-up time!

Let's go back a month to my last post. We were in Ogunquit, ME with Katie, Savanna and Brendon. We had beautiful fall weather that was perfect for walking the Marginal Way, climbing on the rocks, walking on the expansive sandy beach. And we also went to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art - Ogunquit being, of course, famous in the early 20th century as an artists' colony, founded by Charles H. Woodbury. The grounds around the museum contain several examples of the whimsical sculptures of Bernard Langlais (1925-1977), a former neighbor of my friends, Phil and Deborah McKean in Cushing, ME. His property in Cushing contains over 100 of his works, and through Colby College will soon become a sculpture park open to the public.
