We made Portland Me. on Thursday.
Portland Harbor Hotel.
The Portland Harbor area is upscale and touristy, but a nice place to be for restaurants and nightlife.
This blog is mostly about food, because we usually don’t have the energy to do much else than go out to dinner after we arrive at a destination. In Portland, we ate at Gilbert’s Chowder House. I sampled their super seafood chowder.
On leaving Portland, we took a driving tour of Congress Street, where my son Seamus used to live.
Portland Observatory on Congress Street
It’s three hours from Portland to Bar Harbor, mostly on back roads. There was quite a bit of traffic, thanks to Labor Day.
This morning we’ve got a boat ride around Acadia National Park.
