What a wonderful day! We never knew Maine had such a beautiful coastline. We drove to Acadia National Park and saw some spectacular scenery. We walked quite a bit (or should I say climbed) and encountered several nice people (most from the cruise ships stopped in the bay). Found out cruises come up here from Boston and there were several people from Greece on the ship. We stopped at a local place that boils your lobster after you pick it out and then ate inside. Really good! Tomorrow we're going to a local seafood market and buy some. The couple staying across from us have bought lobster two days in a row at $5.99 a pound! Incredible.
The leaves are just beginning to change and we had our first night of below freezing weather. It got down to 27 night before last. Jim's about to freeze but I'm enjoying the cooler temps. Besides, you can always get inside and get warm, wear more clothes, etc. But it's a nice change of pace.
I'm still looking for a moose. There are moose crossing signs all over the place but we've yet to see one. However, there's a Dunkin Donuts on almost every corner. Jim's in coffee heaven with that one!
We're planning on going back to Acadia on Monday when it's not as crowded and finish the tour. Maybe spend the day in Bar Harbor. Tomorrow, I want to go into Bangor and look for Stephen King's house, go to the Walmart (of course) and get the lobster. We might stay here another week. The campground is really nice (adults only) and close to most things. I'd like to take a couple days and drive over to New Hampshire and Vermont (we're not that far). Maybe then I'll get to see a moose! If not, maple syrup and cheese!
Hope everyone is well. Love to all.
Trish and Jim
