Souvenir Hunting and Relaxing
Class finished very early today. We were basically done in less than 2 hours, so by 11 I was walking out the door. I didn't feel like driving around too much, so I headed for the Maine Mall and walked around for a while. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of shopping. But I was just tired of driving and the mall was on the way back to my motel. I found the "Maine" souvenir thimble mom was asking for. And I picked up a neat "Life is Good" baseball cap with a biker on it.
Then I caught a matinee of "The Bourne Supremacy" before heading back to the motel. For supper, I drove to a nearby deli and picked up a sandwich. These locally-owned delis and shops are so prevalent around here. Back home everything has been swallowed up by chains like Subway, McDonalds, and Wal-Mart.
I wish I had seen the Portland Head Lighthouse and the Portland Museum of Art, but I just didn't feel like driving in busy traffic while trying to read the map anymore. It's not that hard, but I've been spending so much time cruising around I needed a break.
So that's it. I'm going to pack up my stuff tonight and hop on the plane for home tomorrow. Ugh... More planes.
