My wife and I recently took a vacation, a whole week for us. It was unscripted; no reservations; exploration; relaxation. Time. We haven't done this for quite a few years. Shame on us. 

We explored most of the length of US Route #1 from Portland, ME, downeast to Eastport and Lubec. Lubec purports itself as the "most easterly point in the U.S." and location for the first sight of sunrise in the country. Eastport bills itself as the "smallest city" in the U.S. About a mile or so apart, the drive time between the two was close to an hour over 41 miles of Maine country road. 

We discovered amazing people who live in a very tough part of the state. They somehow make do with little, but share smiles freely with people from away. There's a lot of detrius, remnants of dreams, accomplishments, hopes. 

Take a look at the new gallery, also called "Road Trip", in Portfolios. You will find some new places, and old things in those places. Enjoy
