420 Minutes: BETHEL BOUND B Y D I A N A G O N Z E AU X
With winter no longer just around the corner, but pulling right up into our driveways, I was excited to visit a little town in one of Maine’s premier destinations during the snowier part of the year: Bethel. Oh little town of Bethel, hmmm, what do we have to see here? I planned my visit for the day before the first big storm, because I like to live on the edge. Will I get snowed in? Will I?!?! 12:30 p.m.: With an hour and a half drive (3 Maine Travel Units) ahead of me, I first needed to fuel up, so I stopped in at my favorite Portland coffee shop, Burundi Star. I peeked at the new art they had up on the walls: beautiful, brightly colored scenes by Mak Francisco, an artist from Angola. I left with a coffee in one hand and a pain viande in the other, and scarfed the dense, chewy, savory bread and meat treat down before it had time to cool. Patience is not one of my virtues. I also needed something sweet to snack on, and I have been craving donuts big time in this cold weather, so I picked up an assortment from Holy Donut.
