– Like blueberries? Love to hear it – Maine is the largest producer of blueberries in the country
– Are you a fan of obnoxiously large replicas? Get ready to stand next to the tallest (re: 16 feet tall) rubber bottom boot in the world at L.L. Bean flagship store
– Do you like donut holes AKA munchkins AKA the best invention from 1847? Fantastic – they were invented IN Maine!

Cannes You Not?!

Are you like us and thought that the only Saint Tropez you’d ever see was the label on your self-tanner bottle? THINK AGAIN. That’s right, future Trekkies, Ross does the ~South of France.~ Come lounge with us by the Mediterranean Sea where we’ll be seeing the sights, hitting local bars & clubs, exploring the local gastronomy (read: wine), and relaxing in the sun! Our goal on this trip is to see as much and do as much as we can while still getting lots of time to relax before the semester begins. It would be so NICE if you’d join us! (get it?)
