I love Peaks Island, Maine. It’s just a short ferry ride from Portland and small enough to easily walk or bike around. This time of year it’s also pretty quiet, which is nice. The back side is unprotected so the waves crash against the jagged rocks and toss rounded stones into the air.

Wednesday morning Kim, Mike, Kirsten and I took the short ferry ride over. The weather was brisk and graying, but we were determined to enjoy ourselves regardless. Mike and Kim talked Kirsten and I–who were very reluctant–into renting tandem bicycles. The bike shop on the island wasn’t open for the season but we were able to dig a couple bikes out of the shed and inflate the tires. It was a fantastic idea!

We ate sandwiches on the seaside and watched the surf. I took a few pictures, of course. It was a great time!!
