We took a meandering trip through western Maine this summer. Stopped off at Bissel's Three Rivers Brewery in Milo. The gleaming setup in the pictures should give you some indication of the extent of the craft brew boom happening in Maine. This is in a town of 2,500 people an hour outside of Bangor and two and a half hours outside of Portland.

On our way back to Wisconsin to visit family, we stopped in Chicago for a couple days. Such a lovely city.

Love visiting the alma mater. There's nothing like lounging on the Memorial Union Terrace. I'm a lifetime member!

We spent a week at our usual spot in Tenants Harbor (on Long Cove in nautical terms).

On the Liverpool bandwagon for the Champions League Final.
