Greetings from Maine!...or as I like to refer to it as--"the land of Subaru's and LL Bean". Its a little after noon and I just got in to Bangor, ME. I left Boston this morning. It's actually a beautiful day in Bangor. I thought the rain from Ernesto would be here by now, but after looking at a map I realized how far north I am. I forget where I am geographically sometimes....I just get in my car and drive and then I look at a map and I'm like "Wow...I'm really far north".

Bangor is a beautiful town--Maine is a beautiful state. Its great to be back in New England. The cottages and small little towns that all end in "--shire, --ham, or --ton" are picture perfect. I had Cape Cod scallops last night--good eats. I still have a ton of work to do, which is the reality of my job, but I'll get caught up. Things are pretty mellow right now. I need to get out and take some pictures--because I know reading my daily entries gets boring :) .

I'll be heading back down to Boston on Monday. Not only I am I excited to get to Boston because..its BOSTON..but I have officially hit my 1,500 mile mark on the road, which means I will start getting reimbursed $0.35 a mile from work. The first few weeks are murder when you realize that you're putting all these miles on your car and not getting reimbursed (well they tell us its figured into our salaries--that sounds great, but it sucks when you're paying our of pocket for gas).

Well I am out for now...I'll have an update later on next week. Thanks for reading along! I have been surprised by all the people that have been reading. Either I'm THAT interesting.....or you're THAT bored :) I haven't figured out which one yet.
