Hi. I chose Portland because I've always wanted to go there but haven't yet. Have you?
I have! I was not surprised to learn that it is the most populous city in Maine.
Is it really? I've always had the image of a sleepy fishing village. I guess its not!
Not at all. The port is the largest tonnage seaport in all of New England!
Wow. That's amazing. I'd still like to go there and see it. I wonder if its a cruise ship port as well
Maybe. I know one of the draws for tourists is the shopping in the Old Port district.
Now that sounds interesting. I bet they have great lobster there.
They do! And it's a great part of the economy there as lobster is one of the most profitable seafood items.
Now that makes it worth the trip. Especially this time of year. I believe the weather in Maine is great in the summer.
Yes! Just be sure to bring your sunscreen and a hat!
