A Great Trip To Maine

Thank you to my wonderful, Maine family!

Kennebec River in Maine

Hallowell, Maine

Hallowell, Maine is named for Benjamin Hallowell, a Boston merchant and one of the Kennebec Proprietors, holders of land originally granted to the Plymouth Company by the British monarchy in the 1620s. It is 6.1 sq. miles (5.9 sq. mi of land and 0.2 sq. mi. of water). Its elevation is 39 ft. The 2000 census shows a population of 2,467.

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Maine. I am lucky enough to be related to a fantastic family that lives in this beautiful state. They opened their home and showered me with so much hospitality and love that they spoiled me and made me want to take up permanent residence.

They treated me to delicious cuisine that is unique to Maine. I have always been partial to Maine lobster but they took me to a quaint little seafood restaurant outside of Hallowell to eat Maine shrimp. Wow! What a treat it was. I don't believe I have ever tasted shrimp that fresh. Also, they gave me almost an endless supply of maple, walnut ice cream. Yum! Yum! We also traveled to Freeport and it was such a beautiful little town with LOTS OF SHOPPING. My kind of town!
