I relocated from central California to a tiny coastal town in Maine. Right now, the extra space and joys of rural living are outweighing any drawbacks
Here's what it's been like since I relocated from California to a tiny coastal town in Maine.
Compared with experiences we've heard about from friends and family living in New York, San Francisco, and other cities with high population densities, I appreciate how easy these experiences have been.If we get the timing of our outings right — early in the morning on weekdays — we rarely have to come within 6 feet of another person.
We were screened for COVID-19 symptoms and exposure when we booked and showed up for the appointments, and we were required to wear masks and were served one at a time . Inside, there was plexiglass separating us from the DMV staff and every employee wore masks and gloves. Similarly, there is no neighborhood garbage pickup or recycling collection service. Instead, we live about a five-minute drive from a place called a transfer station, where we drop off our trash and recycling. At the height of the pandemic, ours was open just two days a week instead of the usual five days and wasn't accepting recycling.
