Morning all!
It is a bright, sunny morning here in Portland, ME. This is a beautiful place indeed. Last night we had a super meal in Portland at Street & Co. It's a great little restaurant that specialises in seafood, and we kicked off the meal with squid with garlic and hot peppers, and for our main course we had Lobster Diavolo, which was a whole lobster between us, along with masses of clams, mussels, squid and pasta. All washed down with a Simi Chardonnay. We pushed our reservation back by half an hour when we arrived so that we could sit outside, as noted by the picture of James on this post. It was a good thing, as the few times we went inside the restaurant, it was hotter than a crotch. At least outside there was a slight breeze. We also had great fun watching people deal with walking on the cobblestones past our table. As the night went on and people got tipsier, then the "cobble stone shuffle" got very tricky for some folks.
D&J's tip to the wise? Don't wear 8" stilletos if you are planning to get shit-faced and trot down a cobblestone street. Unless of course you want to fall flat on your face and be entertainment for everyone else!
So, dear reader, what is happening today? Well, we are heading off to Bar Habor, specifically the Blackwoods campsite in Acadia. We have a site reservation there, and we can't wait to get there. It's about a three hour drive from Portland, so we plan to take the coast road and just enjoy the scenery. Then of course we will have to deal with the most pressing issue of the day - where to have dinner! Those of you who have been following us for a while will be used to the fact that dinner and wine really ARE the most important things to us when on vacation!
So, without further ado, it's time to hit the showers, go find some breakie, and 'git 'n down the trail'.
Okay, that kind of accent really doens't suit me does it!
Big love
D and J
