Whatup 1610!
The population of bowwows in Maine is now officially one. Yesterday I got the keys for my new apartment, which is a good-sized studio right in downtown Portland, near pretty much everything I need. Yesterday I got a Dayton-esque couch from Goodwill (an awesome stranger helped with a truck and a hand with it up the stairs), and I went on a bike ride around the city to get my bearings.
For the past week I had been traveling with some friends from study abroad, first staying up north at a beautiful house up north in Acadia, then staying with my friend Jackie in Boston for a few days. We went on a Sam Adams brewery tour that you guys would have enjoyed (Boston Lager is no Summit EPA I have to say, but I'll just have to make due...at least they have PBR in Maine).
I'll be meeeting new boss at the bike shop on Friday, and seeing the shop -- I'm really excited to start. You'd be comforted to know that my passion for bicycles has only grown stronger since I left Dayton (Erin: I took the backyard dayton drawing from the living room that Hannah made -- I'll give it back in the future if you want it, in the mean time its displayed proudly on my wall).
This blog is a smashing idea -- no internet in my apartment (probably a good thing, after all), but I'll be checking it when I'm in coffee shops, which is going to be alot.
Alright peace out homies! Catch you all on the flip side.
PS -- If you ever want to get away from your obligations and have a stay in vacationland, there is a rent-free hidaway couch at Dillon's Portland 1610 Dayton outpost. It goes without saying, but its worth saying anyways I guess!
