A Day on Mount Desert Island

Again, WiFi bandwidth limitation will keep me from sharing the day's photos, but we'll be sure to let you know when they are available.

Tuesday found us exploring about 1/2 of the costal area of Mount Desert Island, including Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor.  We avoided most of the "tourist" shops and the like, but enjoyed quite a walk to Bar Island.  It is possible to walk to this island at Low Tide when a sandbar is exposed, but one must be careful to return to the main island when the tide begins to turn, since the area is under 12 to 20 feet of water at High Tide.

While we spent most of the day enjoying the beauty of the harbor areas, we did manage to sample some local fare, including lobster roll, blueberry pie and a blueberry scone, all from a shop in Bar Harbor where there were freshly made pies cooling on the window sill of the shop; providing a very inviting aroma.  For dinner, we stopped by Lunt's Lobster Pound on our way back to our RV.  Prices were great and the meal was excellent.
