Portland pt. 2

It is 7:45 AM, and we just got back to JFK to get our connecting flight to San Francisco. Our day in Portland was success with the exception of our failed goal of going sailing. We did jog along the ocean into town, where we wandered the cobblestone streets and saw the lobster boats returning to port. After seeing the entire downtown area and walking home, we headed to Shipyard Brewery for a tour. We arrived late, so we only got to see the last three minutes of the tour, but we were just in time for the free tastings. We sampled 7 or 8 different shipyard beers and let them know that we would be supporting them in Denver in two weeks at the Great American Beer Festival.



We then returned to the wharfs, where we bought 4 lobsters that had just been brought in on a lobster boat. After a very Maine-esque lobster feast and another great sunset, we kicked off the evening with shotgunned pbrs. We then explored the bars of Portland, finding jello shots, buckets of jungle juice and gigantic versions of Jenga and Connect Four. On the way home we jumped into the Atlantic ocean, because we knew that we would have a chance to jump in the pacific before sundown on the same day.
