Maine Lobstah...Wicked Good

Well, I was up in Portland for Karla and Eric's infamous Memorial Day BBQ. The next one is July 4th. Hoo ha!

So, lots of fun. Weather was gorgeous but so damn bright. There is something about the thinness and quality of the air on the seashore that makes the sunshine that much brighter and clearer. Or maybe it's all that Shipyard and Gritty's summer ale I kept imbibing.

Of course, Karla and Erik have to have the craziest most comfortable apartment ever! Getting up and going before 1pm is really hard when you've got that cushy couch, chairs and beds. Don't even get me started on the size of the bathroom!

So, Portland is a beautiful beautiful city. Caught up with some old friends. Sharon drove up with me. We did a lot in three days...BBQ/consignment shopping/walk on the causeway/cookie baking/shots & bar dancing on Saturday. Supersized chowdah/Victoria Mansion tour/Casco Bay ferry ride/drinks at The Spur on LI/Crazy good chili at $3 Dewey's/early to bed on Sunday. Portland Head light/Biel's amazing blueberry cheesecake yogurt/real Dunky's iced coffee/back home on Monday.

All in all, it gets harder to leave every time I visit. Can't wait to go back!
