Thanks Bruce and Bill. A few pictures just do not convey the rugged beauty of the coastline nor the picturesque little harbors and villages. A vacation of from two to four weeks staying at B&B's or inns for a few days at a time at various spots along the coast all the way up to Machias, ME and then back down through the lakes and streams and mountains of western Maine, the White Mtns of New Hampshire, and finally the Green Mtns of Vermont will give one an idea of Northern New England.... but you'll want to stay longer and I certainly won't blame you. Now, if you've got a couple of years to spend, you can start at Greenwich, CT and work up the coast into RI and then Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vinyard....
Dave and I were commenting just yeaterday that we have no reason to leave New England - we've got it all right here.
