What are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country?
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but if I were you, I’d pass on visiting the US during the Trump administration. I really don’t think it’s safe for foreigners here at the moment. They’re even detaining the white ones.
I recommend going to Canada instead. It’s spectacular in the summer.

It’s a car ferry that makes two trips to Bar Harbor a day, I think. Used to service Portland which would have been easier for us, but they downsized a few years back.

We went during the city’s 400th(!) birthday celebration in ‘08. It’s that old! And so cool. I had to break out my very bad French for a second with a cabbie who did not speak English. Good thing I had brushed up on it a bit in advance.
