The Week Flew By!

Of course part of that is because we only had 3 nice days of weather in our week stay.  But no complaints, even a rainy and windy day sitting right on the water is just fine with us.  We took one of the rainy days and made an errand run to Bangor, and, of course, while we were there had to go to lunch:-)  We found a very nice place called Timber, kind of upscale and very good.

Delicious seafood chowder

An awesome pesto personal pizza

And halibut tacos

It continued to rain most of the night and the next day as well, but even so our view right from our site was spectacular.

We made our own seafood dinner that night, scallops.

It was still drizzly and raining, so after lunch we went exploring for lobsters and ended up in Northeast Harbor.

This rainy night Jan made all of us a roasted pork dinner, have to have a break from seafood every so often, at least once a month:-)

We were then blessed with 3 beautiful days in a row, so Jan and I left early, 05:45am to run down into Acadia to do the around Jordan Pond hike, one of our favorites.  It was a gorgeous day!

It's a wonderful 3+ mile hike, especially first thing in the morning when it is quiet and uncrowded.  An added bonus is you get to hear and see the loons.

On the way back we saw 2 cruise ships off Bar Harbor.

After lunch back at our site, we took off for Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor.

The view from our site never got old

The next day dawned pretty and bright, so first thing, Karen and I went to a lobster pound and picked up our live lobsters for our cookout that night.  And after lunch Jan and I took coffee and headed over to Schoodic Point, the other part of Acadia, less traveled and visited.

Then for our feast.  We cooked the lobsters, Karen made potato salad, and Jan cooked corn on the cob, but obviously the stars were the lobsters and man, were they good!

Let the feast begin!

Clean plates

Lobster's revenge

Then after dinner, the evening just got better and better.

Yesterday, our last pretty day before more forecast rain, Karen and Tom went for a schooner ride and Jan and I went to Bagaduce Lunch, one of our favorites for lunch.  A very unassuming shack along the river with dynamite food.  We sat out, splurged on whole belly clams, scallops, and onion rings.  Fantastic!

So tomorrow we all move all the way east to Eastport, the point of Maine for several days.  Good bye to our awesome sites on the water.
