I fell asleep around 9pm last night, though my sleep score was just 51. My watch was not happy with how often I’d woken my self up by coughing – and netiher was I.
Somewhat to my surprise, I had enough energy to go on the Portland Hidden Histories Small-Group Walking Tour that I’d booked yesterdy in a flurry of enthusiasm. The start point, Post Office Park, was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. There were about 18 people taking the tour and our guide (and owner of Portland by the Foot), Dugan.
Peleg Wadsworth, who built it as a country retreat, was a Revolutionary War general who had a very low opinion of Paul Revere; ironically, his grandson Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere”, and the house is now known as the Longfellow House.
