Well, we have arrived. We are in Bah Harbah! As I sit here at the table next to the window in our hotel room, I have a beautiful view of the ocean and the mountains beyond and I can also see the inground swimming pool and hot tub which have the lights turned on for the night. It's really quite beautiful and peaceful. Not a bad way to make a living running a business!
We had a safe trip up, rather uneventful (for us), and arrived here around 5:30 pm having made numerous stops along the way. Bev has some excellent photographs of the trip up and she will post one along with this blog. Unfortunately, I was unable to convince her to take a photo of the topless sunbather lying on the beach in Lincolnville. Rather, she took pictures of the ocean and some boats moored out in the water and some rather pretty lupine flowers in near full bloom.
We did make a quick U-turn to take some shots of some very cute baby sheep, but once we got turned around and pulled over to the side of the road, all the sheep took off up the hill to get as far away from us as they could. I stood by the fence and tried imitating a sheep, a cat, whistling to them, doing the smoochy lips thing that people do to get a cat's attention - all to no avail. They only wandered off further away from us. So our shots are not as close up as we would have liked.
We had a lovely supper at the Poor Boy's Gourmet restaurant in downtown Bar Harbor(if you're interested in the place or their menu, check out wwww.poorboysgourmet.com and had an excellent meal. Bev particularly liked her lemon drop martini and I had a delightful hand squeezed hard lemonade.
Now we're both very tired and after we post this blog, add a photo (we believe our blog only allows us to post just ONE photo per blog), and then add an album of the rest of our photos from today to my Facebook page, we need to decide about tomorrow. Bev's going to read to me about some scenic roads and sights in Bar Harbor as part of research for tomorrow's trip. And then it's lights out for the night. See you tomorrow. Judith
