What's for dinner? I told Grace, I wanted seafood (I had my lobster roll for lunch yesterday, so I was good to go on that front). So we went to Huot's Seafood Restaurant in Cape Ellis (just down the shoreline from Old Orchard Beach) which is her dad's favorite place. It's been there since 1935. On Grace's recommendation, I ordered halibut chowder and clam cakes. I've had clam chowder before but not halibut and I've had crab cakes but not clam cakes. Both were delicious.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
