    A cool, bohemian women's clothing store featuring threads from around the world but mainly those with an Indian (as in India) influence. They also sell really unique homeware. Everything is affordably priced and the store is filled to the brim with unique finds. If you walk by a store with two large carved wooden hands acting as seats, this is it. I ended up buying a pair of wool, woven "Muck Luck" cloth boots in a red, mustard, blue, and creme color. They are beautiful. I also bought this wooden statue of a woman with wings flying, it looks Thai inspired. This is a great place to shop at, stop by!

    This is a must see if you come to Portland. Not only is the lighthouse so majestic and awe inspiring, Fort Williams Park in which it is situated has a lot to see/explore too with its abandoned forts and one large, gutted, abandoned mansion, "Godard Mansion". Eerie but still beautiful. Depending on when you go, the park will be absolutely clear or filled with fog, both are unique experiences.
