Now I’m getting excited.
“But best place we loved was Ogunquit”
Just looked it up.
Love the pronunciation, pronounced /o-gun-quit/,
Love the gun part. Hehehe. .
You’ve given me lots to ponder. Thanks
one thing to know about ogunquit though before you decide to go if you do- it’s loaded with gay people- they flock there- and it’s known as a gay destination vacation place now- and some are quite militant- they can be aggressive and in your face- and publicly demonstrative- there are tons of gay bars restaurants shops etc that have cropped up everywhere now- so keep that in mind if you go there- the places i mentioned above are mostly family run places, and not run by homosexuals- at least they weren’t years ago- but they do hire them and sometimes they can be pretty snotty acting- If you stick to a group you’ll be fine- but if you go out at night- know the restaurant or club you are going to beforehand- lots of good clean family run hetero businesses- but you gotta know where they are-
We actually now prefer to stay in another town- and just make short trips to ogunquit for specific things now- like beach or restaurant- in the summer it’s just so busy there that it’s hard to get around by vehicle- (The gridlock can be maddening at times), and way too many aggressive gay people- They don’t let folks just live and let live anymore- We just found it too hard to put up with
Back 30 years ago- the gay community pretty much just kept to themselves- and there were only a few places everyone knew to avoid- but more and more Massachusetts and Canadian gay folks kept moving there- and before long it became just unbearable- They’ve pretty much driven us out- They just gotta ruin everything by being so demonstrative and aggressive- You gotta have a strong stomach to go there now unfortunately- think of it like a mini San Franscisco- just not as crappy-
