I really wanted to try those 🦞. Lobster is on every eaterie’s menu. You can have it in chowder, roll, sandwitch, poke bowl, or savagely eat it up straight. All delicious, also pricier than in California.

Portal itself is a marvelous place. I’ve travelled from South there, going through the foggy domain of Steven King. You can smell land’s horrors in the air, right before it rains (which happens quite often), right after, in the morning, evening and afternoon fog. It’s beautiful on a suddy day though.

I stayed in the Old Port area and really enjoyed the variety of food options and stores. It seems a little overwhelming for that small area in America, has more common with old European downtowns. The sudden water by the street refreshes the ancient fishermanship of this place.

If you have a good reason to go to Portland, Maine, you will enjoy the trip.
