This is the hardest of days, with cluster craps, n what nots.
West Yarmouth, MA to Brunswich, ME - 203 mi. - 3hr. 20min. per google maps. With a stop at boston.
With a slight drizzle, we headed north towards MIT and Harvard at Cambridge, MA. We reached MIT, and that campus is not a campus in the normal college sense. It's more like a google or oracle campus. Buildings were street blocks away from each other. We found the bookstore and bought t-shirts and ate at a place called Legal Sea Foods. It was 1:30pm or so and they're lunch special was salad and all you can eat clam chowder. 2 appetizers that SHOULD have been fast and easy. We were served by this ewan mcgregor looking dood. And that took FOREVER, 1hour 45min forever for salad and clam chowder. 10$ per meal, 8$/hr parking = !&$!#!! for salad and clam chowder? At that time we just whizzed by Harvard, which did look like a college with kids running around. It was busy. and we still had to a ways to go!
Northward and in New Hampshire, there are state ran liquor stores. With caltran style signs stating that fact. I had to see and with that came out with a bottle of Laphroig and Balvenie Scotches. On sale and tax free!
The highways are bizarre here, a mix of speed limits from 40-55mpg, and with trees walled in so no views of anysort.
We reach the Knights inn hotel, at brunswick, Maine and it was so-so. The foilage was a grand mix. We didn't want to go eat out and went to McDonalds to find the elusive Lobster Roll. Another booboo was that MickeyD's stopped selling McLobsters 3 years ago.. =( i never did get a lobster roll on my journeys..
Somehow a 200 mile drive, took all day.
