From my previous posts, you know that I lived in Portland for one month and then moved back to Washington DC. As soon as I returned, I knew I made a mistake and should have stayed. Part of the reason for this blog is to journal my steps back to Portland Maine. I am planning a trip to Portland in May with my trusted companion, Sophie. Sophie is my 8 year old Westie and my best friend! Before tourist season begins, I want to get a feel for the city in better weather. The last time I was there was in February which is really the worst weather month to experience the city. Please continue to follow my blog as my journey continues.
