Meandering thoughts as I pass through Portland, Maine

Natural Date: 578

As I contemplate which direction to head upon leaving Maine (I know, the options are limited to West and Southwest, but still...) I find myself looking for routes through smaller towns rather than cities. I feel swallowed up in cities, as lovely as some of them are. And that would include Portalnd.

I’m contemplating a way to make my journey more meaningful and perhaps more structured as well. I’m not certain what that would look like, but I imagine it might involve finding a cluster of smaller towns and spending more time with the people rather than simply passing through. These are my meandering thoughts at the moment.
