It's been a few days since I posted any news so I will catch up tonight. On Thursday, we took a bus tour of Acadia National Park and it was really interesting. Our tour guide is a native of Bar Harbor and he really knew his history. Did you know that Martha Stewart lives in Bar Harbor? Her home is assessed at 9 million dollars! Our tour took us all the way to the top of Cadillace Mountain where we saw breathtaking views and experienced very high and cold winds! We also went by Eagle Lake which is the water supply for the entire area of Mt Desert Island and all the little towns on it. We learned a lot of history about this area on this tour. Very much worth the $$ we paid for it. I posted some pictures for you to see.
Then we spent Friday driving to our next destination....the Boston/Cape Cod area. We decided to stay in Middleboro rather than on Cape Cod because of its proximity to Boston. And the commuter train took us to Boston where we boarded the subway system and went to the Museum of Science. We also walked around in an area of downtown Boston known as Faneuil Hall Marketplace where there are a lot of little shops in the street and along the sidewalks and a lot of good restaurants. It was an interesting area but it was too hot to really enjoy it. I took a few pictures and posted them to my photo album. I also posted a picture of Nickie and Andy, a friend that she met on the internet several years ago and they finally got to meet. She helped us enormously with the subway system. We treated her to a couple of hours at the Museum of Science in return for her help. But we sure were ready to catch that commuter train back to the RV Park by 4:00. We literally walked our legs off! But in spite of the heat, we had a great time. Tomorrow we hope to drive out to Cape Cod for more of the wonderful ocean views we have been experiencing. If we are able to do this tomorrow (it will depend on the traffic situation..they say it can get really bad....4 hours to go 50 miles!) then we will leave on Monday and head for Mystic Harbor, Conn. This will be our last stop as we are planning to head home from there. So click here to see the pictures I have added of Acadia Natl Park and Boston.
