On my way to Calais

Long Way to Calais

If I knew there was a bus from Boston to Portland, from Portland to Augusta, from Augusta to Bangor, and from Bangor to Calais, I would ride it. But Google did not tell me that. So my way was much longer than even that. I left at noon, hitchhiked, rode a bike, and slept in a hotel in Portland. This hotel was close to the bus station, that how I figured out the Concord bus line. It seems Google knows only Greyhound. There is one daily bus from Bangor to Calais, at 3 pm. If I knew that, the road from Boston to Calais would take me one day instead of two.
