In New England, for the first time The sound that hits me right now comes from the ocean. Waves are moving faster and faster showing that the tide is coming up. From my room, I can see a lighthouse far away and the full moon shining. My first time ever in Maine. Amazed, I try to record my experience in words. They are not enough, however, to describe this awesome scenario. Even a perfect description misses the atmosphere which can only be totally enjoyed by being in it. It is from a cottage that I send these words. I look around trying to be as simple as the place where I am staying. That's easy, because I can't show off when I write. You have probably noticed why: English is not my first language.
