Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts to Bar Harbor, Maine

We are doing what we came to do...driving scenic highways with the top down and drinking in the views. This was a perfect day and the perfect terrain to further our goal. The foliage and the crisp freshness of the air feels more familiar and more like home; perhaps it's because Maine and the state of Washington are the northern bookends of our country. 
Small harbor towns, trucks on the roadside selling lobster, scallops, clams and crab, white tips of church steeples peeking above the tree tops, (another church, another steeple), antique shops, moose habitat, and blueberry fields; Maine lives up to its reputation.
Wiscasset calls itself "the prettiest little village" in Maine, and we won't argue.
We stopped in Portland to visit the old port section of the city. Some of the streets are still cobbled, the buildings are quaint, and the harbor is busy. We found a dock-side restaurant, sat under an umbrella and enjoyed.

Chowdah for lunch, lobstah for dinner.
