Welcome to Portland, Maine, USA
This morning the ship raised the stars and stripes as we enter the USA - which of course means we are joined by the Border Patrol for a passport and ESTA check
The weather today is fantastic - warm blue skies, perfect for slowly approaching the city and staring with envy at the beautiful New England beach homes.
Portland Head Lighthouse
Note to self - Shore Road is where I need to buy that summer property for retirement
J's favourite in every harbour - the humble tugs
Portland Silver/Fore square - the city has a lovely New England charm to it - no huge skyscrapers
and some fantastic historic properties well worth the short walk from the port
This is Victoria Mansion. Also known as the Morse-Libby House, Victoria Mansion was built between
1858 and 1860 as a summer home for Ruggles Sylvester Morse
and his wife Olive.
Fortunately early October feels more like a warm English summer day.
