Sept. 23-24 Bar Harbor

Sept. 22-23 Bar Harbor My Oh My – We have seen some of the most beautiful places on this earth. I’ve not been able to post lately because we’ve been going so much and at times have had no internet connection. Right this min. we’re in Quebec, Canada but I’ll back up and mention a few of the other things we’ve done.
While in Bar Harbor (pronounced Ba Haba) , we rode out to see the highlights of Acadia National Park and the sites around the Bar Harbor area. We went to Scoodic Point look out to see the ocean view and experience the lava rocks along the point. Although it’s been a little foggy these days, it was so beautiful to watch the boats, the waves and the sea gulls.
On the 23rd, we all went to breakfast at a restaurant right on the water. Had blueberry pancakes, (blueberries are abundant here), sausage and bacon.

We drove to Cadillac Mountain, which is a little over 1,500 ft, the highest mountain on the east coast line. It was an extremely curvy road but well worth the drive. There was a big cruise ship in the water with a small sail boat next to it. They looked like little toys from where we were. Beginning to see some spotty color on the trees – a sign of good things to come.

We went to a restaurant in the park and had seafood chowder (pronounced chowda) and “real” popovers with jam. Again, had a fantastic view overlooking a large lake.

Rode through the quaint town of Bar Harbor.

Sept. 24, Caravaned to Palmyra, ME. I must say the experience of caravaning has been a challenge for me. Depending on the traffic, it can sometimes be very tense keeping up with the group. Thanks to our wonderful GPS, Wanda Woman, we’ve not gotten lost – yet. The night before a travel day the wagomaster has a meeting with us and reviews the route for the next day. This tour has been a great investment. We’ve already gotten more than our money’s worth and the two couples heading up this trip have worked hard to provide us with a good travel experience. They are likeable people and ever so patient with us. We never would have known how to find the interesting places they’ve taken us and we haven’t been rushed.
. About 10 of the ladies wanted to learn to hula, so we had our first lesson tonight. We had a great time and they laughed and giggled the whole time. They are anxious to continue but so far we just haven’t had the time.
Tonight the wagonmaster had a hot dog supper for us with all the trimmings and prepared us for our venture through Canadian customs
