The Husband Always Has the Last Word

Last week I wrote about a short vacation trip we took to Ogunquit, Maine.  To get there we flew from New York to Portland, Maine. On our way back, we decided to stay in Portland for a few extra days to explore Maine’s largest city with a population of over 500,000.  On our visit, we met very friendly people, and the food was very good as well.  We stayed at the Hyatt Hotel in the Old Port district, which is made up of many old brick buildings, with restaurants and boutiques.  We visited the Portland Museum of Art, which had an interesting art collection, and Elfa did her share of bargain hunting to help the local economy.

On the first night, we had dinner at the Fore Street Restaurant, which was recommended by the Fodor’s Travel Guide, and we were not disappointed.  We sat next to a couple, and I used the opportunity to clandestinely photograph the guy with a long beard.  After I got satisfactory results and showed it to them, it was very easy to start a conversation, and to acquire new friends.  Scott’s ancestors came to Maine on the third ship after The Mayflower, which arrived in New England in 1620.  He and Rhonda were celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary.  Suddenly, he told me “Look on her face now”.  At this moment he started to unbutton his shirt to reveal the tee-shirt underneath with the magic words “Yes, Dear”.  The man was mature enough to know that to make a good marriage, the husband always has the last words, and it is “Yes, Dear.”

For me this trip was an opportunity to relax, to observe and meet new people, to take photographs and to write.  I started working on my next book titled “Retirement Solutions for Smart People.  5 Easy Ways to Enjoy Your Golden Age”.  It was not a coincidence, but in the morning I was writing about how in planning for retirement, husbands need to listen to their wives.  And after all the agreements and disagreements, his last words are “Yes, Dear”.

Enjoy and Share.

P.S. Because people are so friendly here, it is very easy to photograph those whom I encountered.  But you have to come here to check it out.  Meanwhile enjoy these images.
