Acadia National Park

It is Wednesday, Sept 29 and this is our last day of touring before we begin our drive home. We first drove into Bar Harbor and looked at the wharf and dock areas. The Holland America ship "Eurodam" was in port as well as its many passengers. The sun was shining and we walked on the gravel "bridge" exposed by the low tide to Bar Island. At the end of the day, we returned to see it completely covered by the high tide. After fortifying ourselves with coffee and blueberry scones, we spent the rest of the day driving a circumference drive of Acadia National Park. The coastal Maine scenery is rugged and interesting and the day was sunny and quite warm at 75F. At the end of the drive we went to the top of Cadillac Mountain - elevation 1572' - and got a wonderful panoramic view of of the park and coast.
Tomorrow, we head for I-95 and after a stop at the L.L. Bean Store, we will head to the Boston area and in the next couple of days, make our way on I-90 for home.
