Schoodic Point (http://www.terragalleria.com/parks/np-image.acad46060.html)

Barry and I drove to Schoodic Point last Sunday.  Marvelous ocean views,  miles of pink granite and wildlife sightings just bring out the best in us.  We practically throw our necks out of joint on the drive to The Point.  Many neat, historical homes to see in the villages along the way.  I just love how this part of Maine is still more like Maine.  Yes, some of the waterfront cottages and homes are owned by folks from away but the buildings remain very much like they were a hundred years ago.  I still feel like this area has retained its unique personality, the same one I met when I was just a kid growing up in Milbridge.  It's still Maine!!  I am not sure why many of us like to "go back home" but visiting Winter Harbor, Birch Harbor, and Corea is very much like going home again.  Oh, and while you are in this neck of the woods, you won't be a bit sorry if you plan to have lunch or dinner at this local eatery...

The Pickled Wrinkle, formerly known as  The Nautica.  I had a celebratory drink and appetizer there last night (I finished another terrific year of teaching middle school kids).  Well, I had no idea what a treat this place is.  It's changed hands since I last visited and it was good even then.  But let me tell you, the (homemade) chicken wings were beyond good.  I wanted to order their Wednesday night special, the grilled ribeye, but that must wait for another day.  Did I mention how tasty the watermelon martini was?  We friends booked our next visit for a night Jazz and good eats.

 Consider planning a day in the Winter Harbor area and a visit to Schoodic Point!
