Number Eight Hamilton Street, Lubec, Maine

 

 

 

Some people are overwhelmed by the musical
activities here...others maintain their composure.

 

This "Breakfast Corner" looks out on a lighthouse in the harbor. Most
of the house furnishings are every bit as quirky as that 18th century
ladderback on the right.

Karin, Rachel and Arlynn made breakfast, and there was a lot left over
for the rest of us.

 

We do quite a bit of Eating.

 

 

 

 

 

The coastal hiking trails in Lubec are spectacular. Jeannie, here,
comes back year after year from Oregon just for the scenery...
and for piano lessons.

 

Quoddy Head State Park, Lubec, has the most spectacular
scenery on the eastern seaboard. A 20-minute walk along
the cliffs will lead to a three hour hike and a week-long visit.

You can build your own.

The kitchen is unchanged from the 1950s. This is charming for some,
challenging for others. It's not going to change, so just put up with it.
Nancy, here, has just completed a violin sonata and a dinner for eight.
(Don't believe it!)

The bedroom called "The Room with No View" boasts
a commanding view of roofs and eaves. However tiny,
it's the cutest, coziest room in the house, and
closest to the bathroom.

This is the "Communications Center" at 8 Hamilton Street, Lubec.
We have a 1928 Underwood manual typewriter, beer, wine, and a
small sewing machine. We also have one of those newfangled
Tele-phones. If you want internet connections, you don't know
how to vacation. Stay at home!

 

We allow the maximum legal number of cellists to live at 8 Hamilton Street.

 

 

 

 

 

We encourage the mastery of difficult piano techniques.

 

People here play into the night. But don't worry:
everyone knows when it's time to be quiet.

 

Lubec sunsets are the best this side of New Mexico.
I don't know why. This was taken in my driveway.
