For some reason, San Pedro Café charged $8.00 to my bank card two days ago. I haven't eaten there in two weeks, at least, and I'm in MAINE! My card is with me, too. How did this happen?
Well, my pal Ramon is working on it. No need to cancel the card at this point. Probably an old charge someone forgot to clear.
Left Paula's at 10:00 after breakfast. Drove down the coast then through Auburn instead of Augusta. The weather was pretty muggy once I got away form the coast. But south of Auburn there was a cool patch that was SO refreshing before I hit Portland. Portland was hot. And kind of ugly. And lots of traffic (again, I stuck with surface streets, no interstates). I'm so SAD right now to be leaving Maine! I love it here! How can a place so beautiful ever produce anything ugly or bad!?
Paula wants me to come back with the whole family (Dad, Nadya & Deb, at least) next summer or sometime soon. I'm totally down!
I have to say, I'm mostly into Northern Maine. Driving the coast from Paula's in Brooklin was pissing me off a bit. It's more populated and touristy. I love the mountains and trees. The water at the little beach by Paula's was so clean and clear and perfect. I did drive through some pretty woods south of Auburn, not dogging southern Maine, the north just has more interesting nature. But I never saw a damn moose.
Now I'm waiting to hop on the rain to see Shahin in Boston.
Oh my gosh, I feel like I am going to cry hysterically because I'm leaving Maine!!!
Man, I keep forgetting to mention that 7 people were swept into the water by a twenty-foot rogue wave at Acadia the other day. A little girl died. Crazy shit: http://www.myfoxmaine.com/dpp/news/maine/20090826_Rogue_Wave_Survivor_Recounts_Experience
Sitting here in the train station, I am getting nervous about school. Must definitely brush up on linear algebra before class. I thought I was done with math, but this ONE MORE linear class is supposed to help me with Quantum Mechanics. We'll see. Oh yeah, and I'm really frakkin' hungry!
An interesting thing I noted: Maine turned my eyes green. I think it was all of the trees & grass reflecting. Back to blue now. VT & NH made them gray - bad weather.
The train was FREEZING! Shahin met me at the station and we hit Redbones for beer and cheese fries. We are staying tonight with his friend Santiago. We have a futon in a total guy pad complete with foosball, darts, and a dirty bathroom. Perfectly comfortable! Aguardiente night cap and we're off to bed.
Didn't really take pictures today, but I found Paula's bathtub manufacturer interesting.
Also, her grandmother's amazing found object assemblages that were hung here and there in the house.
