New England Vacation--Day Nine--July 29,2010

What a long but fun-filled day!  When I think about all we've done today, how many miles we've traveled, how many states we have crossed over....I think my body is ready for bed!  If you look at all our pictures on Picassa (just click on the words "Our Pictures" to the left of this blog) you'll see what I mean.  Paul only put about half the pictures on Picassa.  We took a LOT of pictures, but there were just so many beautiful sights to see!

We left Bangor early this morning and arrived in Portland in time for our Trolley Tour.  It was so nice to see all the old houses in Portland and our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Portland.  He also took us up to Portland Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse in the world.  Then we went on a 90 minute cruise around the harbor.  We saw lots of other lighthouses.  A few of the pictures are here, but you'll see a lot more beautiful sights by clicking on Our Pictures.
