freeport

Over the weekend, Diana, Klaudia, and I drove up to Freeport, Maine to see Amos Lee, one of my favorite singers. The concert was one of the free L.L. Bean summer concerts that are happening throughout the season at their flagship store. Freeport is a bit of a drive from Newburyport, about an hour and a half without traffic, but it’s an adorable town filled with outlet stores and cafes. After a quick dinner, we grabbed some ice cream before heading over to the stage, where the concert had already started.

The area reserved for the concert was packed with people, mostly families and couples, so instead of trying to push our way to the front we settled in towards the back and found seats on the curb.

Freeport is a charming vacation spot, overridden with tourists but still pleasant, and the town is a great representation of the Maine I love in the summertime. There are restaurants on every block offering fresh lobster, ice cream stands every 500 feet, and every time I go there it seems to be bustling with people.
