May 30th - The 13 hour way back.

We checked out of our cottage at 9 am and decided to go for some wildberries breakfast before we left. Wild blueberries are a trait of Maine too.

Here's a shot of Ting and I at the restaurant. Yes, I ordered 2 pancakes, how uncharacteristic of me. Naturally I couldn't finish it all :P



I particularly liked this sepia shot that I took of the 4 old people sitting in the restaurant. If only I had a wide angled lens and I was sitting further away from them... But nonetheless, I still think it gives a pretty nostalgic feel to the whole place.


The menu!


As we moved on, we drove straight for 3 hours then we decided to drop by Portland, Maine's biggest state. Yes! I've been to the 2 main portland cities! One in Oregon and one in Maine! West coast and East coast!!

Portland has very beautiful streets, a french feel to it. Classy, sophisticated and colorful!

Ying, enthralled by an alleyway.


That's me, infront of some monument to prove that I was really in Portland, Maine!


Ting at some bookstore.. So nice!


We wanted to go to the 37,000 sq feet market but apparently it was closed cause it was a public holiday. We trudged like 30 mins to it lor!


We stayed for a while and then we were on our way.. we had around 8 more hours to go... On the road we saw this really weird car.. looks like a spider.. and I took a quick shot of it...



We drove straight through and had a take out at Wendy's. However, we got a little bit lost and came home slightly later. But we were safe!

Here's the mess, (just Ying's, Ting's and mine)... crazy isn't it? :P



That was our trip to Maine!
