Go out to one of the islands off Portland. We ate at this restaurant on Great Diamond. Pretty cool and you have to take the ferry to get to it unless you have a boat. It was interesting to see what the people who live on them have to do to manage groceries, cars, etc. Beautiful scenery especially if you can catch the sunset.

Did this too. Agree.
I remember the house we were at, you could literally lean out the kitchen window and pick your own strawberries. Pop them right in your mouth.
But I also remember the husband telling me what winter was like for him.
He was an accountant is Portland.
He had two cars.
One on the island and one in Portland.
In the morning, he had to start the car, let it run, then knock the snow and ice off.
He drove it to the ferry landing. (his only ferry was no cars)
When he landed, he had to do the same thing over again with his second car, in order to drive to the office.
Can you imagine how old that would get?
But that island was beautiful.
The wife's grandma died and left it to the grandkids.
No one else in the family wanted to live there, but they didnt want to sell it either.
So, this couple decided to move in. Pretty magical place to raise kids.
But, geez, that poor guy's commute.
