Booking a trip
Down East is celebrating the publication of its new children’s book “The Train to Maine” with a series of train rides, including a trip between Boston and Portland, Maine, on Aug. 2. Illustrator Rebecca Harrison Reed and author Jamie Spencer, who has long summered in Maine, will join the trip on Amtrak’s Downeaster, which heads north, as Spencer writes, “with a whir and a whoosh and a clickety-clack.” More details in the Events section at DownEast.com.
