Years ago when we took a family trip to the other Portland and I saw familiar faces in the ponds, I wondered if I was the only visitor here. I didn't have a magic computer in my pocket back then but after 15 years I finally looked it up and they are indeed native to Maine.

I'm currently struggling and hobbling along Hadrian's Wall. Just arrived at the next place I'm staying and I couldn't be more impressed. The owner has bent over backwards to get me sorted for the next few days, and the rooms are lovely. You should all go! It's in Gilsland.
