Cruisin around Portsmouth, NH (Comments: 2)

A couple weeks ago I rented a car and drove up to Portsmouth, NH for the 8th annual New Hampshire Film Festival. My thesis film Glarg and Fritz was accepted and I was invited to come take part in the festivities. And of course I brought a bike and my camera. (and as always more pics and full sizes on my flickr page)

Portsmouth, as seen from the municipal parking lot south of Mill Pond.

I would park the rental car here in the municipal parking (about a mile away from downtown) and then ride everywhere around town.

It looks like I have a huge butt, but it’s just my backpack, I swear.

Just one of the many great vegetarian meals i had all weekend…

I like a town that gets into Halloween.

Parked real close to the Music Hall, main stage for the Festival events.

After all the films and VIP parties on Friday night, I rode down to Prescott Park on the harbor. That’s the bridge to Maine in the background.

The same view of town from the parking lot at night.

A nice little town to bike around. I might have to make a return trip with a bigger bike for more long distance riding.

Of course, getting home was another story:

My personal Hell, caught in stop-and-go traffic on the Mass Pike. I hate cars.
