Muffins érable et noix -- Maple and Nut Muffins
Ce matin au Seaside, le muffin du jour était à l'érable et aux noix. Le soleil était au rendez-vous après une nuit très froide et venteuse. On aurait dit le Québec...
This morning's muffin at The Seaside was maple and nut. The Sun was back after a very cold and windy night. It was just like home...

Les Kennebunks -- The Kennebunks
Après une première nuit passée à York Beach samedi, dans le Sud de la côte du Maine, un changement d'hôtel s'imposait... la connexion sans fil ne fonctionnait pas dans la chambre. Dommage, la vue était superbe.
After a first night on Saturday at York Beach, on the southern Maine coast, a change was in order. The WI-FI connection was inexistent in the room. Too bad, because the view was superb.

Depuis ma tendre jeunesse, le bord de mer du Maine pour moi est synonyme avec les Kennebunks. Pourquoi «les» Kennebunks? Parce qu'il y a Kennebunk, à proprement parler, puis Kennebunk Port, et enfin Kennebunk Beach.
Since my youth, the Maine seashore for me is synonymous with the Kennebunks. Why the plural form? Because there's Kennebunk, then Kennebunk Harbor and finally, Kennebunk Beach.

Chez George -- George's Place
Puis, il y a eu George... Mais oui, George, le Père du Fils, George W. George H. a été élu Président et Kennebunk Port et Kennebunk Beach n'ont plus été les mêmes. Car, voyez-vous, George Père a sa résidence d'été à Kennebunk. Et il y avait des agents secrets (et pas si secrets) partout, les rues étaient bloquées, la circulation infernale. J'ai donc dû trouver d'autres endroits où apprécier l'Atlantique, mais ce n'était pas la même chose.
Then there was George... Yes, yes, George, George W's father. George H. was elected President and Kennebunk Port and Kennebunk Beach just weren't the same anymore. Because, you see, George Senior has his summer residence here in Kennebunk. There were secret (and not so secret) agents everywhere, the streets were blocked, the traffic bedlam. So I just had to find other places to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, but it just wasn't the same.

Bien des années ont passé depuis ce temps et peut-être les touristes avaient-ils repris possession de ce petit village en front de mer? Qui risque rien, n'a rien et j'ai bien fait de tenter la chance car, en bout de compte, Kennebunk semble appartenir une fois de plus aux touristes.
Many years have passed since that time and perhaps tourists had reclaimed possession of this small seaside village? Nothing ventured, nothing gained and, all in all it was a good thing I tried since it seems as though tourists are free to roam Kennebunk once more.

Mais que mange-t-on à Kennebunk? Du homard, bien entendu. Les lobster rolls, le ragoût de homard, tout ça c'est bien beau mais rien ne bat l'original, le vrai, le homard bouilli et, tant qu'à faire, aussi bien aller chez les experts.
So what does one eat in Kennebunk? Lobster, of course. Lobster rolls, lobster stew, all that is fine and dandy but nothing beats the real thing, the one and only boiled lobster and one might as well go to the experts.

Un petit arrêt au Lobster Pond, on choisit son homard. Cuit sur demande, à la perfection, c'est l'heure du pique-nique.
A quick stop at the Lobster Pond, the lobster is chosen. Cooked on demand, to perfection, it's picnic time.

Homard, mayonnaise, chips et coke zero (oui, oui, je sais... un Pouilly-Fuissé serait plus civilisé mais, à la guerre comme à la guerre).
Lobster, mayonnaise, chips and coke zero (yes, yes, I know... a Pouilly-Fuissé would be better but you gotta do what you gotta do).

Le long de la côte, à Kennebunk, en front de mer sur Ocean Avenue, il y a un sentier qui se nomme Parson's Way. Tout le long, des bancs sont installés pour qu'on s'y arrête, gracieuseté de généreux donateurs. Celui-ci fera l'affaire pour le lunch.
All along the coastline at Kennebunk, on Ocean Avenue, there's a path called Parson's Way. There are benches here and there, generously donated by benefactors. This one will be perfect for lunch.

La vue est unique... et l'achalandage assuré.

Le pique-nique est déballé, c'est une femelle! Un bonus, car il y a le corail!
Picnic is unwrapped... It's a she! A bonus, because you get the coral!

On termine le repas avec quelque chose de bleuet de la pâtisserie d'Ogunquit (Bread and Roses, la meilleure du coin).
Lunch is rounded off with something blueberry from Ogunquit's bakery (Bread and Roses, the best in the region).

Un dernier petit coup d'oeil aux vagues qui déferlent, un au revoir à George H...
A last glimpse at the unfurling waves, a wave goodbye to George H...
