Friday - Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park

Ugh, another grey windy day - but no rain.  It's not a really bad day but some sunshine would be greatly appreciated by all.

We decide to take in Bar Harbor and see if we can enjoy a few of the sites in Acadia National Park.  It's a nice drive, about 60 miles from here.  Along the way we get to cross the Penobscot Narrows Bridge a very cool looking bridge, my picture -

Bar Harbor, more kitsch shops than you can shake a fist at, Liz and mom are having a great time.  I did find a nice piece of glass that would have looked great on the mantle, Randi Solin is the artist, it was well priced I thought, but I sadly decline.  The lady in the shop said we might catch some of her work in Corning when we visit the glass museum.

Lobster rolls and a beer sound good to mel, and it's time to warm up so off to a lunch.  We chat to the waitress who says the the whole town will be shutting down around Nov 1.

On to Acadia, we decide to just drive through and take a side trip to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the view was great, the wind was blowing near 40 mph and it was cold.  Everyone is thinking 'why am I standing out in this wind and cold??'

Back to the coach for dinner and bed.
