Portland Maine - Rest and Relaxation

Log Entry #12
Riding up from Connecticut to Maine on Saturday morning was beautiful.
Traffic was light and the fog lifted by 8:00 am.
Katherine and I arrived at are brunch date restaurant within 10 minutes of each other. Great coordination...
After 17 consecutive days of riding it was great to take a little break and do some sightseeing with Katherine!
Portland is a great town, abundant in great restaurants and awesome sight seeing opportunities!
Monday morning Katherine made her trek back to California and I continued Northeast into Canada heading for New Brunswick.
Tomorrow I head up to the Cabot Trail and explore Nova Scotia!
Great place for brunch in Portland Maine!
Katherine orders her usual corned beef hash and I ordered the french toast.
Great company - Great food!
We stayed here in Brunswick, about 20 miles North of Portland.
Sea Dog Brewing located in Brunswick!
Bridge at the Brunswick Dam.
We got a great tip for a local lobster restaurant from the friendly staff at the Patagonia  store in Portland!
Food was awesome!
Lobster is big business here in Main.
Fish is great as well!
The Portland Observatory has a cool story and played an important part of maritime logistics in the 1800's.
The Standard Baking Company is another well Known local spot in Portland.
The ferry fleet plays a big part in shuttling people, supplies and vehicles between the many islands in the region.
We took the Diamond Line Tour on Sunday afternoon.
The views from the boat were beautiful!
To your left, the smallest light house in Maine!
I reluctantly say goodbye to Katherine on Monday morning.
And hello to the Canadian highway!
