On the other side of town, the Saco River twists and turns under covered bridges and through succulent plant life. Leaves covering some of the tallest pines to be seen in New England, ferns blanketing the ground and the mountains rising majestically toward the blue skies creates the most peaceful landscape for a float down its cool, calm waters.
What this weekend was really about was memorable times with great friends. Friday night was filled with Cards Against Humanity and pumpkin beer while floaties, moose statues, and crazy dance moves entertained all attendees from early Saturday afternoon until the wee hours of Sunday morning. Yes, this area is beautiful and relaxing, but what NoCo is really about it connecting with people. Sitting down around a table without the glow of phones while laughing, talking and really looking and listening to each other is a refreshing experience. Connecting in person rather than communicating through screens is invigorating and something that I truly cherish nowadays. Human connection...and some great hangover food from Boston Brother's Pizzeria.
Until next year NoCo, until next year!
