Family Vaca / Pt 3

June 22, 2014 by Jonathan Chow

So we headed out away from Bar Harbor and out of Maine, towards New Hampshire.

I've been lucky enough to have traveled through some amazing places, and Maine (at least during the summertime) has definitely placed a positive impression on me. The land was so surreal, it was like being in a Miyazaki film.

And while it has nothing near the kind of cultural support California or even other states like Washington may have, there's still little surprises here and there of what you may encounter in this tiny state.

Briefly went through Augusta but rather would forget about it as it was a pretty depressing, empty town despite being the state capital. Next stop, New Hampshire!

Family Vaca / Pt 2

June 21, 2014 by Jonathan Chow

2nd Day in Maine and of course, we had to swing by LL Bean. Ever since I was a kid I can remember my dad ordering from these catalogues. Needless to say, he was as excited as I would be if I were going to Porsche or Nissan's headquarters

Our hotel room for our stay in Bar Harbor. Pretty quaint, very 50's vibe to it. 

Maine in general was pretty awe inspiring at how beautiful everything was. Reminded me a lot of my trips to Washington/British Columbia.

A lot of honest, good working trucks...

...and only a few imitations.

Some very naturally pretty front lawns.

Totally didn't notice the moose on the roof until we were leaving.

And sadly that's it for Bar Harbor. We were hitting a town each day and after traveling from one to the other, didn't have too much time to explore around. More coming tomorrow

Family Vaca / Pt 1

June 20, 2014 by Jonathan Chow

New trip, new pics. This time though, things are going to be a lot quicker and less wordy. So I'm in New England for a brief family vacation and first stop was Portland Maine. Maine in general has been giving me a Washington vibe, but overall it's just this wonderful blend of small town Americana and gorgeous nature.

The hotel we're staying at. Perfect location in "downtown".

If you're looking for an E30 M3 or EF Civic Si, you're in the wrong area. But if you're into older American hot rods, that's juuust right for this state.

That's all for now. Next stop, Bar Harbor!
