Harboring a Dream

Lots of harbors today. All of them very attractive.

Another good breakfast at the B&B with homemade muffins and excellent granola and yoghurt to start the day. We spent the morning exploring the shops in Bar Harbor and also sitting with coffee looking out over the bay. It was a very pleasant morning. We walked along the coastal path and then cut up a back road into town which had some very nice houses on it - see the pictures here.

We then got in the car to explore the rest of the island. We went to northeast harbor and south west harbor and lots of places in between. They are all very pretty with lots of boats and boating type people. Today was a bit overcast and humid but we still managed to do most of the trip with the top down. We went for a walk along a trail called "Wonderland" which went past strange looking full size bonsai trees and ended up on a deserted beach where we could have spent the rest of the afternoon if we had not to get back for the wine and cheese hour at the B&B!!

We met some nice folk from Florida, managed to avoid a room full of teachers and were introduced to someone from St Andrews althought it turned out that he was born there and then left a few weeks later.

We even met someone who had heard of Tripp Lake. Unlike the owner of the B&B who sounded very sceptical that there was such a place.

We had to move rooms today and are in a smaller but very comfortable room for tonight. Dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant while a thunderstorm raged outside. Hopefully the sun will return tomorrow for our drive to Camden.
