The End Of Maine


It's hard to believe we have been a week without an internet connection.  Or, is it just that the week has been so eventful and interesting that we haven't even had the energy to talk about it.  Actually, it's both, but whatever, it is time to catch up.

We ended up spending two more days in Portland.  The place is so lovely, and we were not ready to leave its sites, smells and tastes behind just yet.  OK, we wanted more lobster and we wanted to eat breakfast at Becky's.  (BTW, our friend Julie was right, Becky's French Toast is amazing and should be on everyone's bucket list).  And then there were mundane tasks to be done:  the laundry hamper was overflowing and Linda needed a "fill" on her nails.
 

Plus, Don and Nancy had invited us back the next night for a hamburger cookout and evening of card playing (3/13 was the game).  We will see Don and Nancy in January when they come back to Lincolnshire for the winter season.


All in all, the time in Maine was well spent.  We had no idea our visit there would be so memorable.  We promised ourselves we will come back some day.

We really needed a couple of days to recuperate from all the festivities in the Pine Tree State.  But we also were anxious to get on with the next part of the trip ... a visit to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard.  So we said goodbye to Maine and headed down I-95.
