So this past weekend, my roommates(and Brian) decided to get up and take a little road trip to Maine. We all felt like we needed a little break away from the city and just wanted to relax. Jo has a family friend that owns a little house in Northern Maine(Stonington) so we called her up, got the keys, and were on our way. Lets just say that it was crazy wild fun from moment one.. Here are a few of the highlights.
-Most of you probably know how much I love Cafe Rio and Costa Vida Pork Salads. Being on the east coast, where they are practically non existent, I crave them even more. So... we had heard that there was a Costa Vida in Portland, Maine... So yes we stopped, I stuffed my face, enjoyed every bite, and then headed on our way. Yes it was as good as I remember it all.
-Lets just say that the last 50+ miles to get to our destination was nothing but windy roads and huge potholes... mind you it was eleven at night and we were going over an old bridge that had recently buckled 6 inches... Good times. Good thing we had 'Gus' to guide our way.
-So we get to the cute little island of Stonington and our adventure really begins.
1. We may have tried to break into our neighbors house. How were we supposed to know which two story white house #21 on Main Street is?
2. The upstairs of our house was a literal suana... loved it.
3. The City public library and making friends with 'Muffin Smith Bartlett'
4. The Harbor Cafe: the one restuarant that is open during the winter months. Claim to have the "best muffins... and they dont even need butter." Our waitress doesnt even have anything against 'colored' people. haha
5. Mikey G's Local Bar and Restuarant. This place was Classic.... some of my favorite moments here were: -Getting looks from all the locals the second we walked in. We were def. invading their territory b -Listening to the live band, "Toast". They were a pretty much amazing and I loved the shout outs to "Tom" and "Carlos." -Making up names for everyone. -the fact that as soon as we were leaving they finally acknowledged we were there and how they didnt want us to leave.
6. Movie after Movie. Batman Begins, Circle of Friends, Madhot Ballroom, Stranger than Fiction, Devil Wears Prada, and more...
7. Singing in Monte... gotta love the ipod game.
8. Costa Vida Part 2. Yes we stopped by on our way home... and yes I did eat the whole thing again.
The weekend was a huge success. I love love Maine. It is so gorgeous. I cant wait to go back again in the summer time!
