Sam and I departed Jersey City together the evening of August 5. I left her at a random Dunkin’ Donuts in Connecticut and carried on to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where a friend from New Orleans and I spent more time shit-talking and bar-hopping than sight-seeing. So alas, no photos from the Boston area. (Of note: Sam’s parents live in the vicinity of the DD where I abandoned her, and to my knowledge she was retrieved by them shortly after my departure.)

On August 6 I continued up the coast to my next destination: Acadia National Park. I made pitstops for photos and/or lunch at Newburyport, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine.
