Portland, ME, with excursions to Freeport

Actually, I don't have so much in the way of pictures here. But I did have to share the Plant of Damocles, as it hangs above the couch where I slept: Admittedly, it is quite securely fastened. But when you wake up in the night, and look up to see the bottom of a ten inch planter full of terra-cotta pot and aloe plant, you start realizing what awful things it would do to your head if it were suddenly overcome by gravity.

"The Boot" at the LLBean store in Freeport. Leo tells me it is a necessary tradition that all visitors have to be photographed in front of the boot.

Of course, Leo got photographed under the boot...

Then of course there are the bits I didn't take pictures of: *Portland Public Market, which you should go to if you like exotic grocery shopping, and which I drove past at least twice but didn't actually go inside *Scenic downtown Portland and The Promenade (walkway along the beach), both of which I went to the last time I was there, and elected not to go back to *Choose Your Own Adventure game store, formerly run by Leo, Sara & Alton- if you are in the area and in need of game cards, dice, exotic sorts of caffine, or the use of a computer to play games on, go there.

In this location Carmen Sandiego would probably steal: the LLBean boot
