We leave
Acadia National Park on October 1st - direction New Hampshire. Having heard
good things about Portland, ME, we decide to follow Highway 1 along the coast.
We find a few cute towns along the way. Searsport, Rockland and Camden are
all worth stopping at for a while.

We spend
a day and a half doing the tourist thing and exploring Portland. The town
is pleasant. Many interesting brick buildings in the old port area. The restaurant
scene was a bit disappointing though. Very touristy.
