portland, me (via albany, ny; montpelier, vt; concord, nh)


On the road early. Busy travel day, stopping at three state capitols before our destination city.  I am astounded by how you can walk up to the Capitol buildings, access the grounds, enjoy the architecture and the beauty. The New York State Capitol is located in Albany. Constructed between 1867 and 1899. It has a Romanesque Revival and a Neo-Renaissance architectural style.  The Capitol Building in Montpelier, Vermont is a Greek Revival architectural style built in 1857. It is the smallest of all State Capitol  buildings.  The State House of New Hampshire, located in Concord, was built in 1816 to 1819, in the Greek Revival style. It is the nation's oldest state house in which the legislature still occupies the original chambers.  After visiting these, Shane and I drove on to Portland, Maine for the night. We would have stayed in both Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine.  The next morning we would be heading into Canada.
