After living in the Boston area for the last 6mos, I figured it was time to venture out and explore more of New England. Of course, some may question my sanity on heading north during the winter. Fortunately, my friend Jen was willing to brave a trip to Maine in January and go do some sightseeing with me
We took the Concord Bus line which in under 2hrs got us there. I'm impressed with how close things are here. The ride was smooth and if watching out the window, seeing the small towns of new england or the occassional ice fisher wasn't keeping your interest they also played a movie (Toy Story 3).
When we arrived in Portland one of my co-workers Larry came and toured around us. Yes, he lives there and yes he commutes to Boston for work! It was great to have our own personal tour guide. We went to lunch at local pub called Gritty McDuffs and sampled some of their in house brewed beers. Larry was quite the history buff and very knowledgeable about the city. This was a great city and I'd love to go back and explore more especially once it is warmer out.
