 Anything good to do in Maine, USA?
Will be there for the next 2 weeks from Saturday 😊

Visit the brand new Museum of Beadwork in Portland.

https://www.museumofbeadwork.org/

Disclaimer: Conceived of and despite Covid delays, brought into existence by my daughter, Heather. The beadwork in the museum is astonishing. 
 @91f7a9d2 Lobster rolls and clam chowder! 
 @91f7a9d2 I saw you're flying on the 16th. You should have a heads-up that there is a state of emergency issued for this weekend due to incoming storm. It will probably disrupt a few things for at least the first day or two. 
 @91f7a9d2 I live in Maine so feel free to ask further questions! But some basics:

- Acadia National Park, as mentioned by many
- Maine Botanical Gardens, in Boothbay
- Maine Mineral and Gem Museum, in Bethel https://mainemineralmuseum.org/ is well suited to your interests! 
- The Front Porch is a restaurant/Piano Bar, in Ogunquit 
- you can catch a Whale Watching cruise/tour out of Kennebunk
- Lighthouses everywhere, if you are into that 
- Lots of music, clubs, etc in Portland
- amazing restaurants
