Welcome to Maine

So back on a warm day in August we took this trip to New Brunswick via Maine, USA. We crossed the border from Quebec side after sleeping over in Sherbrooke, nearby Montreal. Maine is a beautiful state filled with trees, rivers and lakes. I especially loved the small towns amidst every patch of woods, the US flags waving in the air. New England scenery loomed all around us. It was a couple more hours to the border of Calais, ME. Calais is a small bordertown at the edge of Maine. A river stands between Maine and New Brunswick dividing Canada from USA. Across from Calais is a small coastal town of St. Stephen which is also the point of our destination, a place that unbeknownst to us will soon become our new home.

We stopped off in Bangor to have lunch at our favorite restaurant, the Olive Garden. We went to Olive Garden when the kids were little and the restaurant was near us but since then it has disappeared and the only place we can go to is in the USA.
