Char and Mary Ann,

Of all the states we've visited, Maine is foremost in our hearts. Though we'd be "from away", Maine, hopefully will be included as a "future" home. We're partial to Downeast and Washington Co.

As far as PEI goes, it is the Mecca of the Nor-eastern Latitudes. With pristine shores, absolutely wonderful people and clearly a salty ambience, PEI ranks as one of the high points of our travels.

We've traveled the Mid-Coast and Mid-Southern states in depth. They are beautiful and each state has their own identity. But I must say, if you have not been to PEI, your traveling life is not complete. PEI "is" the gateway to North America.

We have even contemplated a move to PEI. However, Maine would be the more practical move. And even from Down East Maine, PEI is only a few hours away.

Which leads me to the theme of this entire web site. Gordon Lightfoot.

My father was an avid stateside traveler. I've had the opportunity to see and visit many Lower 48 areas during my primer years. In 1968 we vacationed to Maine. That was that and my heart was lost to Maine. Only two years ago have I been able to return to Maine and I must say, Maine hasn't changed one bit, every one else has!

But as I have grown, so has Gordon. (i know this board is for off topic, but.... once a gl admirer....always

With my introduction to GL in 1975, GL has been an appropriate and long time companion. Every single trip we begin starts with GL music playing. GL's music is enticing, remote, clear, upfront, in your face, in your side pocket, in your heart or breaking your heart, in your soul or creating your soul. I don't go a day without hearing or remembering a snippet of GL.

Shew...I've been long winded, as though I was writing the folks back home.

(wink, wink)

To those that have not embraced GL, I am sorry. For those that know GL.....you have him in your heart and know what I mean.

There is only one Gordon Lightfoot. Allow him to be a Painter Passing Through in your life.

as always, i remain the student.
