A spectacularly beautiful day, perfect temperature, and a fantastic Island by ferry from Portland, ME
Louis and I left Boston at 8:00 AM, drove to Portland, took a ferry to Peaks Island, had lunch, took a taxi (Peaks Taxi with with a great guide, Gary), and had a marvelous time. Here are pictures from the trip.
