Easter on the New England coast!

We had an invigorating day visiting southern Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire this Easter Sunday. It was quite blustery and we needed all our hats and mittens that's for sure! I love going on a beach or cliff walk before lunch, the sea air gives me a wonderful appetite! And of course, there's nothing quite like the sound of waves crashing to wash away any worries.

We had the whiskey garlic mussels at the Irish pub in Portsmouth called Ri Ra. It's a converted bank and has a wonderful interior with sky lights, stained glass and a converted safe. The mussels were super, and went perfectly with a portion of the hand cut chips. Next time I'll try the Bloody Mary special!

Definitely stop by Ri Ra next time you visit Portsmouth and check out their menu. There are so many choices in town you're bound to find something you fancy!
