Summer in Maine

 

Well, so much for posting to the blog this summer!  We returned to Dubai a few days ago.  105F (41C) and full humidity, yikes!  Dubai has a population of 3 million people, 90% of whom come from somewhere else.  In the summer, they go back to their somewhere else.  Ours was Boothbay, Maine.  Julie worked remotely and we were able to reconnect with many friends and family.

It feels like a back to school essay - “what I did on summer break”  Some highlights and interesting pics of the last 3 months . . . .

  1. As always summer with you two was great but it flew by way to quick this year and fall/winter won't be complete without you two here in the haabah. Don't worry we'll keep Pier 1 and the Lobstah Wharf busy ordering beers, steamers and lobster! Looking forward to seeing you around Christmas!

  2. From André.Greg you have spoiled us with images, all the photos are more beautiful than the others. Now it will be news from Dubai. Summer will continue for you. You're in luck.
    I wish Julie good deals and great finds for you.
