I stayed near Cow Island to avoid the hustle, bustle and cost of Portland. It was only a few miles away, but it was so much quieter than the busy commercial harbor. The peace of Cow Island also gave me a chance to prepare Tanqueray for the Admiral's inspection.
The Admiral arrived Friday morning and was soon settled in. I'm happy to report I passed muster.
We spent the day walking all over Portland trying to imagine what it might be like to live there. Dinner in the old port was delicious, but even though we shared a bottle of red, it was not easy sleeping in Portland Harbor. There are boats coming and going at all times. They make noise and leave big wakes. We look forward to the quiet Maine we imagine awaits us.
Dude, you are becoming the real Magalhaes, just don't let yourself get eaten up by the natives :P
