Another fabulous day of touring the countryside and coastline of Maine. We are at Mount Desert Island - which is really mis-named since it is green, treed and lovely. We are about an hour from St. Stephen, New Brunswick and the island is home to several quaint fishing towns. We're camped virtually on the beach of Frenchman Bay, just a few miles from Bar Harbor and it is the best campground we've found yet. Not only do they have every service you could want but there is a free shuttle bus that tours the entire island every half hour. The green area on the map is Acadia National Park - which we will be exploring tomorrow.
Once again, lobster is available at every turn. There are Lobster Shacks, Lobster Pounds, Lobster Cafes, Fresh caught Lobster, - as well as clams, mussels, oysters. Even our campground has a Lobster Bar in the office.
We saw some very unique signs along the way, today. One was the Baits Motel. The other was in the midst of a neat row of mail boxes. It stood about 10 feet tall and the mail box was labelled "Bills".
Had a new and unusual treat with afternoon coffee. Deep fried blueberry pancakes with maple syrup dip. Fortunately we decided to split an order - very good and quite unusual.
Every day, we have made an effort to do something each of us has never done before. Today we bought ourselves each a Ukelele. We went to the internet for our first lesson and before you knew it, we were playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". Can hardly wait to entertain you all when I get home.
Tomorrow we will be doing something oceany.
To be continued......
