The other Portland



We loved spending July 4 in Portland, Maine, even though we blew off the fireworks in exchange for a leisurely dinner. We had a couple great cups of coffee, there, too, including one at Breaking New Grounds. We wandered around the Old Port area mostly. Our hotel, The Inn at St. John, was beautiful and very old-fashioned looking, with modern conveniences and cleanliness.

The days are rolling together into a fabric of general happiness. We're a month into our trip, and every day has been great, but we're now finding ourselves asking, "Where were we when we saw..." or "What was that place called?" We already know we want to spend more time in New England in the future. There are a lot of places we want to come back to, and a lot of friends and family we want to come back to visit again.

After Portland, we headed to Freeport, Maine, to have lunch with Judy from Chautauqua, and to check out the LL Bean store. The photo is of the Portland Head Light, wrapped in a thick fog.
