Maine

I can see why people like Portland.

It might have something to do with the beer.

Or the food.

Maybe it's the sea.

For me it's the people. Seven very fun ladies, to be exact.

To say that Fatty and I enjoyed ourselves would be an understatement.  You guys rock.  Thank you for making the effort to come hang out with us.

Good times, people.  Good times.

Oh, man! Those onion rings look fab! But what's that behind them? Some kind of delicious deep-fried seafood, I'll bet.

Glad you had fun in Maine! I love Portland so much, but love the simplicity of where we are now. If you ever get further up the coast, let me know!

Tell me those beers weren't at Gritty McDuffs? Oh, I'm so jealous!

You were at Brian Boru! Oh, fun.

So very lovely to meet the both of you on Saturday night! Glad your time here was full of so many good things - even with a little bit of rain, too.

Happy settling-in at home, Erin!
