to portland, maine

we listened to this song this weekend after bbqing and it felt like we all heard it for the first time- an amazing song.

i went to maine to visit emma. i intended to stay for two nights, but celebrated 3 or 4! her friends are amazing, and we ate amazing food (flank steak, herbed chicken, lobster, steak fries and homemade aoli, pie, ice cream and ice cream).

there's nothing like having friends to share your sadness with. i am so impressed w her life out there. it is a very sweet and salty place, a lot of smooth flavor.

i got the chance to visit camden maine. we went out for a hike, a swim, and blueberry picking. i met gideon's mom, mary, who is wonderful. their house is beautiful. so is their farm, and their young donkey, jonathan. gideon was there in the morning and he walked the farm w us and shared our toast.

i left my watch in portland so i went back to pick it up and have lunch with her friends, my new friends. i cannot believe i just met them, but i like them so much. the broomes are the sweetest things. they are the mix of maine, american, uk, and volvo love. we ate duckfat and romped the cemetery.
