Patrick in Portland

Pat mentioned that he had never been to Portland. So on the way back home, we decided to give him a little tour. We weren't able to meet up with Meg :( but did our best...okay, we completely recreated the tour Meg gave us on our first visit.

We went from the Western Promenade to the Eastern Promenade, stopping at Fort Allen Park.

Pat loves history and really loves signage filled with historical information. Here he is pumped up on the way to the first historical marker.

Oooooooooh, a sign. Apparently, Fort Allen Park has the remains of an 1814 era fort. That's probably what the signs talked about but I didn't read them.


After lunch on the water, we got lost but happily stumbled upon a gorgeous beach somewhere on Cape Elizabeth.

Patrick and Shawn share a deep devotion to and love for climbing on rocks, particularly when the rocks are surrounded by water. I knew better than to join them, I took pictures instead!
