It’s The Maine Thing

Hello, Funny One here. I finally sent of my articles for the funny newspaper. Well, the Maine thing is that I sent it off! Today’s state is Maine. I went to see the Dark Knight Rises again. It’s so good, and it’s even better on the Imax!

Ok, what is there to do in Maine? What about museums? The Hudson Museum has three exhibition areas, the Merritt Gallery which is for temporary exhibitions; The World Cultures and Maine Indian have the permanent galleries; The Cole Land Transportation Museum is where they collect, preserve, and display (before they disappear forever) a cross-section of Maine’s land transportation equipment from which this and future generations will gain knowledge of the past; The Maine Military Historical Society is presently Maine’s ONLY museum that is dedicated solely to Maine’s military history; The Holocaust & Human Rights Center of Maine is another interesting place to visit. Their aim is to get to the bottom of intolerance.  “Hatred thrives and the danger is real.  Just by saying “never again” is not enough.  If to forget the past condemns us to repeat it, we make our own history by what we choose to remember – and keep our promise to the future by what we choose to do.”

What about fun tours? There are bird and nature tours at the Three Pines Bird sanctuary. There they protect birds such as Canada Warblers and Northern Waterthrush as well as Wood Thrush and American Woodcock; The Desert of Maine is where you will enjoy a 30 minute educational Glacier Desert Tour Ride; the Bar Harbor Whale Watching Tours is Maine’s largest boating tour company, featuring several distinct puffin and whale watching tours, lighthouse tours, and nature cruises; a lobster fishing and seal watching tour and a cruise to Baker Island.

Now I’m going to talk food. The Original Pancake House is the place where you can get some delicious pancakes like buttermilk, banana, coconut, blueberry and Hawaiian. Mmmm pancakes. Friendly’s Ice Cream Shop is where they have lots of yummy ice cream, plus you can also create your own sundae. I’d love to do that! But I’d want everything on it!
