Another hot and humid day in New England. We headed north on highway 1A to Portland after a quick internet session and yerba mate at the general store. The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH, came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. A great omelet with japapenos got me started for the day. It was quickly up to 90 and just downright steamy when the sun was out. A few clouds provided some relief and we were blessed with a nice south breeze most of the day.
We knew it would be a long and hot day so we stuck mostly to highway 1 to make the best time. The conditions varied from nice to a little ugly. The more touristy towns were crowded and there was some construction along the way. The shoulder varied, but we didn't have any problems with aggressive drivers even where it was quite narrow.
The weather forecast calls for cooler temps tomorrow and returning to close to normal by Thursday. We're spending tonight with Patricia's associate Craig in his lovely house in Yarmouth with his family. Nice spaghetti and local brews. The cool shower was really exquisite to get the wonderful mix of sweat and sunscreen off :-)
On to Augusta in the morning
Love the photos of Steve and flowers. I can almost smell the salty air. However, Steve, rather than jalapenos in your omlette, try lobster!!!!
