Portland, Maine

Our first stop on our trip to New England was Portland. We flew into the little Portland airport on Friday afternoon, just in time for a nice seafood lunch. After picking up the rental car (2010 Camry with navigation, it was nice!), we went to downtown Portland and enjoyed lunch at the Portland Lobster Co. Justin ordered a lobster roll, a type of sandwich served with lobster meat. A typical lobser roll contains the fresh cooked meat of a one pound lobster, tossed with mayo and served on a hot dog bun with a piece of lettuce. Most New England restaurants serve the lobster roll along with coleslaw and fries. Justin gave the lobster roll a thumbs up. I ordered a lovely crab and avocado salad, and it was delish. We shared a cup of clam chowder, which was the first of many cups of clam chowder we enjoyed. And no meal on vacation in New England is complete without a Sam Adams Summer Ale!



How cute is the little lobster? It was the buzzer to let us know our meal was ready!
