1. Went to Saco from Oregon a couple times years ago..

When Nike had a factory there.

2. Old Orchard is one of my favorite spots. Its like a 1940's arcade.

Ogonquit is still wonderful.

Portland's Exchange Place was fun up to th 80's. Now, who wants to go there to see a Starbucks and Gap store?

3. Thanks, nice here, yes old-fashioned. Just realized I can't catch sunSET from my balcony,

maybe catching the moon later, and sunRISE tomorrow!

Ogonquit looked interesting, and going to see Portland museum tomorrow, so may get my special drink from Starbucks; tastebuds don't like coffee now but barister @ home invented a new drink, which satisfies me; it's a win! Will look around Portland for 'stuff.'

4. If you have the time...

A drive out to Cape Elizabeth is nice. Haven't been there in decades but it might still be nice and peaceful.

5. Ogonquit, on Rt 1, within a few miles of Old Orchard. It is a better use of your time than Portland

It has a Marginal Way walk of about 2 miles. Every bend of the path introduces a magnificent view. I don't know if you have a camera (hee, hee) but you will get good usage of it on the Marginal Way. It was a WPA/CCC project during the Great Depression.

Save Portland for the evening and get a ticket for one of the harbor cruises... bring a jacket as it will be cool/cold. Find a cruise that goes to the lighthouse.

6. Were you staying at the Brunswick?

Spent a lot of quality time hanging in OOB back in the day.....

7. Staying @ Rebekka 'Inn,' adjacent to former Sandpiper.

Just looked it up: 'The Rebekah, a beachfront Inn, was built in the early 1900’s as part of the historic Lafayette Hotel complex.'
