Maine: First Impressions
Our first two days in Maine and what we think so far.
Yesterday, we arrived in Brunswick Maine after driving for nine hours from Buffalo, New York. It was late in the day and we were tired. Our boutique hotel was easy to find. It was a very nice place but we were just there for the night on our way to Bar Harbor. Before we got there, however, we searched for a place to eat on the way. We chose a place called Pepper’s Landing and had dinner, happy to be relaxing after a long day’s drive.
Our meal was great. My husband had seafood gumbo and I chose shrimp tacos. We both had local microbrews — mine was the house brew and my husband’s beer was a Heathered Ale. His was more delicious than mine.
Today, we drove to two places I picked out to stop before we headed north to Bar Harbor, where we’d stay while we explored Acadia National Park. First, we went to Boothbay Harbor. I wanted to walk out on the footbridge that crosses the harbor and visit some of the shops.
