You might have heard this before, but Maine is pretty darn amazing. I can't tell you all how glad I am that Charlie thought to come to my house and we thought to go to Kristi's and that Kristi was generous enough to say SURE! when we invited ourselves up to Maine.
Everything about MDI is incredible. I could write for hours and use every adjective that I know and I wouldn't even come close to describing it. Still, we all have our favorite things - Charlie, Kristi and I all loved Little Hunter Beach.
I've enjoyed Kristi's blogs and photographs of this place, but being there was all the better. What surprised me the most was the sound of the ocean on the cobblestone beach. It sounded to me like bursts of popcorn popping. I tried to capture it in the video below, but will admit that it is a poor approximation. If you listen closely you will hear some "wahoooos!" off in the distance. That is the sound of Kristi and Chuck delighting in the big waves crashing high atop the rock bound coast of Maine.

Wow! Now I get what you were talking about Charlie (Charlie told us about the popcorn rocks but it didn't register until you see this). By the way, Charlie told us about Kristi's excitment regarding the waves breaking agianst the rocks and he repeated Kristi's "Wahos" in full voice which attracted lots of attention in as much as were surounded by the concert audieance ... it was intermission but he did get everyone's attention. I wish I had a video to share. Sounds like you guys had a really great trip.

You're right--it does sound like popcorn--I can see why it is a favorite of all of you. I hope it will still be popping in November.
You're right, the video doesn't do it justice... but it's funny to hear Kate's wahoo! in the background. tee hee.
btw where's the near death hiking videos?
It is always fun to have other people love something that you love!
I'm sure that the cobble stones will be still making their wonderful noise in November!!! Can't wait to have you hear it!
