Days 20 and 21: Portland, Maine

Drove to Portland on Saturday to visit my mother’s cousin and childhood best friend Janet. She’s in her 90s and is an avid book reader and excellent photographer. She takes care of the pond behind her condo, does research on her iPhone and enjoys life.

Toured Portland today. It’s an attractive and lively city with lots of solid Nineteenth Century red-brick buildings in the Old Port area. I went on a ferry ride in Casco Bay, walked around the Old Port area, and went on a bicycle ride along the Eastern Promenade.
