Disney World’s Epcot theme park is much different from the Magic Kingdom. It is focused more on technological innovation and international culture.

It is fascinating to walk from one culture to the next, watching performers showcase their talent and seeing different shops selling items relating to the culture.

The twentieth day of the AYCJ journey last year was spent in Portland, Maine and the White Mountain National Park. The coast of Maine is littered with a number of lighthouses. The Portland Head lighthouse is just one of them.
