We screened the documentary in Portland, Maine, at the People's Free Space. We didn't get to spend much time in Portland, unfortunately, but we took our time getting from Portland to Boston and took highway 1 all the way down. We stopped along the coast a couple of times in a fruitless effort to find the tourist haven of Kennebunkport. I've been intrigued by Kennebunkport since I had a job last summer selling gourmet pizzas at a farmer's market in Denver. The pizzas were "globally" themed and one of them was called the Kennebunkport (it had lobster, pieces of organic white corn, fresh mozzerella, and a white sauce). That pizza actually took first place in the food competition at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Anyway, there were millions of signs pointing us toward Kennebunkport but none of them actually led us there until our third try.

We stopped by the Maine Diner (as featured on the Today Show! yes, really!) for a semi-authentic experience of Maine. (or maybe just a touristified version) We got fries and iced tea and courtney got crab bisque (or something like that). She said it was some of the best soup she's ever had and that she was going to try to make me a vegetarian version using mushrooms and sherry. Yes, it's hard being a vegetarian on the road. It's especially frustrating not being able to try regional specialities and feeling like I'm missing out all the time. And only being able to eat potato products at cool old diners.
