ME III: Usual

· Maine Event

Today the low was 47° and the high was 58° cloudy most of the day — pretty comfortable and quite brisk in the evening. Great walking weather. We are here 18 days more and have so many things to do to wrap up, we also want to have some fun and there is still much work for Hesperian.

One thing I was reflecting on about our trip to the Botanical Garden was that we had to go to the airport to rent a car. The airport is pretty small and well-designed and you can walk from the airport to the car rental place and get the car and drive away. We could have walked to the airport which is about an hour away from where we live on foot. We opted to take a cab but the whole ordeal was just so much smoother than renting a car anywhere else. There were three employees and no line, they were pleasant and interested in where we were headed. Excited that we were going to the Botanical Garden. There is a lot of this state we could get to via bus or train but having access to a car that is not stressful is a gate to so much more.

Today was a busy work day and not too much else happened. One thing I discovered is a friend of ours worked years ago at a restaurant in Cambridge called Oleana. Nice photography and the menu doesn't seem bad either.

Onions
and Leeks are happy with this weather!
As is some late-season lettuce
Every day is better than the one before! (also check out the new paint job on the brick wall!)
Complete magic trick - this is a part of a whole line of trees this color.
Dark night.
Can you see the black cat in this picture? It was so dark out that it was invisible to us too.
Little Sprite to say good night!

Have a superb evening despite everything.

Sending love, Tawnia
