We returned yesterday evening from two days in Acadia National Park. We spent the night in Bar Harbor. It was a wonderful trip. Acadia is beautiful and the weather was perfect (thanks to global warming?). A picture is worth a thousand words. We’ll all save time by my posting several pictures.
We all enjoyed climbing on the rocks. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the second morning to do it again.
There is a sandy beach (called “Sandy Beach”).
There are evergreen forests to hike.
There are lighthouses to see. (The kids were shocked that people cared about seeing a lighthouse. “This is it?”)
There are lakes, that they call “ponds.” (This is Jordan Pond, for those who have been there.)
And places where when the tide is out, you can see *millions* of mussels, snails, and barnacles.
Unlike other places we’ve visited, it was pretty crowded. The park employees credited the weather. Again, it was us and the old people. Many were on tour buses this time. This is one of the many pictures that I took of them.
You can tell how much I liked it by how many pics I posted. These are fewer than I initially planned to post!
We have more Islesboro pics that we might still post. We're always rushing during our brief periods of internet.
Friday we leave here for Manchester, NH and then to Boston. And probably more consistent internet access.

What beautiful scenery. It reminds me of what we saw in Oregon last year.
With his long hair and glasses, Calvin looks like Mike Mills from REM:

I think Acadia rivals anything on the West Coast. Is that Matt in the purple suit?
STUNNING photo by Eleanor!
These pictures scream out to be scrapbooked.
Calvin does look like Mike Mills!
But Matt does NOT look like an old woman in a matching suit!
:-)
