As Asa’s World Tour of Maine winds down for the summer, I say it was a big success! Especially since when we set off on this grand adventure, as the tour manager, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, with an up-and-coming rock star, and an inexperienced road crew consisting of Mom and Dad. Yet under my expert leadership, starting in June we made 12 stops at towns in Maine named for countries and famous cities. Along the way we visited parts of Maine that we have never seen before, discovered towns we didn’t know existed, and explored a lot of trails.

Did everything work out smoothly? Of course not! The weather didn’t always cooperate, we went to the wrong places a couple times, and we even got lost. Oh and we got heckled too, but that was really cool! We also saw amazing views, met some really big fans, added Llily Llama as a back up squeaker, sang the occasional song, and learned a lot about the great state of Maine!

And we’re not done! We still have approximately 2 dozen more places to visit! But before we do, we are going to celebrate our accomplishments with a little break to rest and recharge. But stay tuned for the fall leg of Asa’s World Tour of Maine!
