Good Mexican food in Maine?
We headed out from our overnight at Walmart about 10 am, heading toward Bangor, ME, about 150 miles away.
As we were passing though beautiful downtown Gorham, NH, we remembered what we’d heard about the great breakfast at Welch’s Restaurant, so we decided to stop.
Luckily there was a spot on the next block where we could safely and easily park the rig and toad.
The meal was really good. Jan said her Blueberry Pancakes were the best she’d had since Whitehorse, BC last year, and from her that is a lot. And my Meatlovers Breakfast Sandwich really hit the spot.
After our meal we again headed east on US 2… into a maze of road work, one after the other.
Apparently they’re in the process of four-laning US 2, so long stretches of it were down to one lane with flag people, or even traffic lights, governing land direction flow. Several times we sat for as long as 10 minutes.
But finally we pulled into Pumpkin Patch RV Resort in Hermon, ME, just west of Bangor, about 3 pm, and got set up.
After checking with the office for recommendations, we headed out to Pepina’s Mexican Cafe for what turned out to be some excellent Mexican food.
Coming back home, Jan sat outside with Mister while I finished aligning the satellite dish.
Tomorrow we don’t have much on the agenda, probably just rest up, slept late, and make a Walmart / Sam’s run.
Later…
