Today we said our fond farewells to the beautiful city of Boston; we have seen and done so much and we are very sad to be moving on, but as the saying goes, 'Time waits for no Man' and we have an itinerary to follow! But as the Bee Gees sang in their massive number one of 1968, 'I feel I'm going back to Massachusetts' and hopefully we might well do some day. Before we leave, Steve and I had an important task to perform, namely to pick up our rental car from the airport. When we originally booked the car (through Rental Cars.Com), we could have collected the vehicle from downtown, but for some reason the price was significantly higher, so we went for an airport pick up and even doing so a few days ... read more

We stopped first at the Visitor's Center to see if there was anything we could possibly need to know, and it turned out that there wasn't.

The weather couldn't have been better for viewing a National Park. It was sunny and very clear. It ... read more

So, you know, feel free to stay there for a night, and just make sure you chop off the hands of the useless front desk foreigners as compensation for their theft. We were happy to have spent the night indoors, as a quick glance out the window in the morning showed us that there had been significant rain overnight. The forecast I was able to get from a pirated WiFi connection predicted rain all day and through the night. We decided that with weather that poor, we weren't going to be able to enjoy much outdoors, so we figured we'd check Portland out a bit more thoroughly before we left it. The downtown in Portland has a big statue ... read more
