29 June 2021 Portland Maine
We got into town a bit early to get into our place. So we decided to have a picnic in the Promenade Park. We stopped by a market to get mustard for our sandwiches and then drove to the park. It was the site of an old windmill and the millstone was used to decorate the stonework. We were across from the City Hall and the Fire House. We heard the tourist narrative from the Duck Boat Tours as they passed us by. We also saw a Firetruck Tour which would have been our choice of tours to take to see the city. A handy park bench was all we needed to have a fun lunch. The heat wave has not crested yet and we saw folks wading in the fountain and one guy went all the way under.
The park was peaceful but the grass was thirsty
