A turning point

In April of 2009, leaving behind a gray and rainy Yorkshire, Damon and I took a 2 week road trip around part of Canada, New England and New York. At the half-way point, we reached Portland, Maine. On the day this photo was taken, the sun was shining and the colours were bright. We wandered around drinking the best fruit smoothies we'd ever tasted. Everyone around us was smiling, helpful and friendly, and somehow everything felt JUST RIGHT.

 

It was at the point we first both had the idea - why not try and live over here? It seemed silly and unrealistic at first, but once the seed had been planted in our heads....it wasn't to shift.

 

This day in Portland will always feel like a turning point to us, where our lives were to take a new direction. The day of change is getting ever closer....
