Hiking, day 42: Portland, ME

I hit the East Promenade Trail in the morning and headed up towards the beach, then spent most of the afternoon brewery hopping!

Our hotel is right across from the cruise ship terminal, so this big lady was in port.

When they said narrow gauge railroad, they meant it! Only two feet in between the two rails.

Portland is home to the Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum.  I'm planning on hitting up the museum fully while I'm here, but I did grab a few quick shots of some of the cars while I was walking past on the hiking trail.



A view out over the water.

Lobster catch!

The water was much clearer than I was expecting.

Lots of sea snail shells (say that three times really fast) on the beach.


In the distance is Fort Gorges. It's accessible by kayak to urban exploration type folks.

The inside of Gritty McDuff's brew pup.

Portland is home to this preserved piece of the Berlin wall.

View of the boats bringing in their daily catch from the back bar of Liquid Riot Brewery & Distillery.





Another beer flight, this time at Sebago Brewery.




In the evening one of my husband's coworkers took us to the two hidden speakeasies he had found; both hidden behind fake doorways.  Snagged a t-shirt from one - Lincolns.


Old beer gas gauges used as tap handles at the second speakeasy.

The bathroom at this speakeasy had photos of interiors of other club bathrooms, so I figured I had to perpetuate the trend.
