Bar Harbor, Maine 9/5/07

Here we are at Bar Harbor, Maine. Actually, Bar Harbor is a town on an island known as "Mount Desert Island" and "desert" is pronounced like dessert. But what a beautiful island it is. Acadia National park is located here and boasts of having the highest mountain on the Atlantic coast of the US. This mountain is known as Cadillac Mountain and is about 1530 ft high. Last night we enjoyed another lobster meal. I like the Maine lobster much better than the stuff we had in New Brunswick. I posted a picture of the Lobster pound where we ate. Messy, but wonderful! Today we took a mini cruise of the harbor on the Sea Princess that had a naturalist tour guide giving us a verbal description of the area, which included a stop at Cranberry Island, a 200 year old lobster village. The entire cruise was about 3 hours and it was wonderful. We have been enjoying picture perfect weather since arriving. Tomorrow we will take a bus tour of the Acadia National Park. I love sightseeing this way....leaving the driving to others! Click here to check out the latest pics.
