On the Road Again...

The Inn at Tanglewood Hall - York Harbor, Maine.....our home away from home for 4 days at the end of March! LM had visited southern Maine last year and said he thought we should spend some time touring the area as he knew I would love it. Knowing how well he reads my likes and dislikes, he had to be right, thus a trip to Maine was planned. We are so happy we chose Tanglewood Hall as our base - lovely hosts, beautiful grounds and a heavenly bed!  We also loved the fact that it was a great base to walk from. 

We were so happy to find out my brother and sister would be in Maine, as well.  Pictures:  brother, Ev, nephews, John and Ian, sister, El, and my dear LM, on the bridge in Kennebunkport on the first afternoon. Below, they insisted on including moi.

Our inkeepers, Andrew and Su,  highly recommended taking a walk on the Cliff Walk, along the Atlantic, and just a short jaunt from our inn. The house above was just near the start of the walk.  Below, is the view we found at the beginning of the walk.  A spectacular day along the craggy coast of Maine.

At this point we took a right turn and began to follow the very precipitous path. LM had to help me in many spots as my knee was tested - ever the gentleman, I made it just fine.

The path was so close to the edge! 

The views were so beautiful. All private property to our right as we walked.

There were many sentinel seagulls.

There are an assortment of beautiful homes along the walk, and one owner has built a fortress, complete with cannons to hold back the hillside, but also for privacy.  Pretty humorous.

This building is an exclusive private club called "The Reading Room" 

At the end of the path is a lovely York Harbor town beach.  Beautiful soft but hard-packed sand making it a wonderful place to walk. 

Our tour will continue in a few days.......we did lots of walking and touring, interspersed with great family times, rest and meals!
