Lots of Trees, No Moose and No Wawa


We had a nice drive today through some beautiful scenery, no traffic and the towns were pretty small.  Good thing we fueled up and stopped at a supermarket in Canada because there was nothing until we got near the coast of Maine.

Trust But Verify



He didn't look at the passports at all.  Just asked a few questions of honest Ida, but then he made her open the trunk in case we were smuggling some Mexicans from Canada.   She let out a sigh of relief afterward.









Canadian Route 173 became US Route 201.  Very scenic but some rest stops with bathrooms would be nice.


Lots of these signs







We found a beautiful rest stop near a creek with a restroom and a picnic area, so we had our lunch there.  Good thinking picking something up since these poor people in Maine don't know what a Wawa is.

We arrived in Portland and checked into our hotel by 5:00 PM.  We covered quite a few chapters of the book and we're almost finished now. For dinner we went to the dock area and ate aboard a ship, DiMillo's restaurant.   We took a walk around the old port area after dinner.
