I just got home from a three day trip to Maine with my mom. We stayed at a motel in Wells, near Moody and Ogunquit. When I was younger my family spent two weeks in Moody Maine at a beach house every year in August. They were the best two weeks of the year and now that we can't get the cottage anymore, trips to Maine have become less and less frequent. It was nice to see the old sites and visit the places I used to go to when I was a child. So many memories in Maine....even the supermarket has a sentimental value to me. I enjoyed purchasing food in the produce section for sentimental purposes even though I never liked their fruit.... I also wandered around the video store we used to go to every other night and I looked at the movie boxes of the films we used to always rent. We called them the "uppa Maine movies." They were basically Disney cartoons but to this day I have never been able to rent those movies any other place. We went to the public beach even though it was cold and windy out and it was high tide. The ocean was so close to the parking lot that there was abusolutely no sand to sit on. We sat on the rocks shivering in our sweatshirts. It is comforting to see how the sea never changes. No matter how much the town can change...the ocean will always remain the same. It was there before I was born and it will still be shimmering under the sun when I die. I am going to move to Maine as soon as I can. I am determined to go to college in Maine and to continue living there after school. It's true what they say: "Maine; The way life should be."
