Bangor's banging! (till 1am when the bars close...)

First time in Bangor, and I give it a thumbs up.  It is small and quaint and yes, there are lots of Stephen King objects to be found.  We explored town and found a sweet comic book shop, several junk shops (apparently coin collecting is big here), and the awesomest friar-run pastry shop where I had amazing farmer market vegetable soup.  And the counter monk let us take a picture with him:


Later on we tested the nighttime scene, and we had a chance to hang with lots of local gents:


Most of them were lovely, though one bushy-faced pretty boy I will not show here was, sadly, not as proud of his hometown as we were, and dragged down the mood a bit.  And then I think Amanda kissed him, and Jen threatened to beat him up, or something.  I'm really not sure, because I was hiding:



I can't wait to go back, especially when the weather gets warmer and we can venture out into the country a bit more, maybe hit up Bar Harbor, or find some bridges to jump off of.  Yay!
