Quebec to Maine April 11, 2011

Marielle
We said" Aurevoir" to Marielle at 9:30 am and began our drive to Maine. The day was overcast but dry.
It was what we consider a long drive, about 5 hours.
The border crossing into Maine is the smallest I've ever seen. We were the only car there. A few questions and we were on our way. Should have stopped for lunch at the first place we saw because we didn't see another until about 2pm. Passed many places closed for the season or just gone out of business. Finally found a place open in Bingham. Food wasn't great but we needed to eat.

I didn't realize how sparsely populated this area of Maine was.
We reached civilization and headed south on I-95 towards Freeport, just north of Portland.
Lots of high end shops, including the LL Bean flagship store, they have about a block of buildings for themselves alone.
We found a Comfort Inn in Brunswick, just north of Freeport, to spend the night.


Tomorrow we will do a little shopping and go looking for some Maine lobsters to eat!
The route so far
