Maine Lighthouse



This is the Nubble Lighthouse in York Beach, Maine. Even though we had touched down on the Atlantic before, somehow reaching Maine felt like a real accomplishment. We scaled down the craggy rocks at this lighthouse and each blessed each other with a fingertip of the cool, salty Atlantic ocean. Maine is really beautiful, and if you could take an eraser and wipe out every single rich white person in a boat or SUV, as well as George Bush's vacation home in Kennebunk, you'd have a really peaceful getaway. Our first night there, the sky swelled with purple lightning over the ocean and I slept deeply while Ragnar stayed up late smoking watching the free show.
