In September of 2022, Felicia, Susie and I flew from DFW to Portland, Maine to spend a few weeks looking over Maine, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and New Brunswick, Canada.
We went to Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont 20 years ago in the Fall of 2002 but we did not see any leaves changing color – bad timing that year.
One this trip we did see the leaves changing from green to yellow, orange and red. Very beautiful. Also spent days going up and down the coast, visiting many lighthouses, taking harbor tours and eating great seafood.
We spent out last four days in Rockport, Main. Stayed on Main Street which runs along the coast. Not too busy but it was hard as heck to find bars and restaurants open. We think it was past the end of tourist season so a lot of places closed for the year. Some were just closed on the Monday and Tuesday while we thought we might eat on Monday and Tuesday. Some place just closed really early. So the places that were open at night were really crowded.
The Cape Neddick Light is a lighthouse in Cape Neddick, Maine. In 2002, we took our picture in front of the lighthouse on a nice, warm sunny day. Around 2017 we were at the Red Lobster in Plano, Texas and I took a photo of the painting below – same place. In October, 2022 we were back at the same place but the weather was cold, rainy, windy with large waves
