The last stop for Shio's Maine Adventure was the Eastern Promenade. We went there at the end of day and was met with a beautiful sunset.
Shio actually played with some of the other dogs there, although he continued to stay out of the water.
No way he was getting his paws wet. No way.

The one other noteworthy lighthouse we visited in Maine was the Portland Breakwater Light.

One of the most famous things about Maine is of course its seafood. We headed to Portland Lobster Co. to get the full experience.
Afterwards, we went shopping around town. Many of the stores had water out front for dogs, and for once Shio was actually excited to walk around with his pawrents.

Portland Head Light is supposedly the most photographed lighthouse in Maine. We headed there immediately post arrival, and the views were in fact quite magnificent.
As you can see from the above image, they have a large off-leash area for dogs. In fact, we found Maine to be very dog-friendly.
After the visit to the Head Light, we headed to town to grab dinner.
Pai men Miyake was kind of a poor man's version of Ippudo in NYC -- we were very excited to try their ramen noodles. While I cannot say Pai men Miyake can match up to the ramen shops in NY, I would recommend it for visitors looking for a decent soup noodles.

We took a 3-day trip to Maine, which included a five and a half hour drive from Brooklyn. Shio behaved very well, and enjoyed every single pit-stop.
More to come from Shio's adventures in Maine.
