One of the wharfs in Portland.

We stayed in Portland three nights.  Though we were there on the fouth and close to a park with an excellent view for the fireworks, the city postponed the fireworks for one night due to Hurricane Arthur.  Since the hurricanne was off shore a ways it wasn't very windy.  It just rained for two nights and a day.  We're thankful for a home of a warmshowers.org host for three nights.  Thank you Gary.

"Portland Head" lighthouse

Saturday we started our three day ride to Boston...

...until we discovered this beautiful beach in York, ME.

As we were getting toward the end of our day, we were looking for a campsite when we rode past this beautiful (but crowded) beach.  Being that it was a holiday week-end at 4:00 pm the odds seemed slim to find a campsite, but God provided one.  Since we couldn't pass up this opportunity we are staying for two nights.
