I know a lot people go on about how you’ve got to see the fall colors in New England. That may be, but it’s hard to imagine that they can compete with the explosion of color that greets us every fall in Portland.

Despite what even I might say, it doesn’t rain all the time. And on those crisp, clear, blue -sky days, there really is nothing better than putting on your hat and scarf, getting a hot coffee to keep your hands warm and just strolling to take in the sights.

If you’re downtown, I recommend walking the park blocks. This car-free corridor is flanked by large trees, and I feel like I’m walking through a scene in Love Story, the leaves falling, the college students hustling to class. And best of all, you end up downtown, right in the middle of the best Portland shopping. A good way to warm up…

Ta ta,
Emily
