There are probably a great many things to do, but we chose only a few things to do in Portland Maine. Just a few. And most of them weren’t actually in Portland. Despite the fact that most of the things we did while in Portland weren’t actually in Portland, we decided it is 100% better…

Hiking God’s Thumb
