Sailing down east from Nova Scotia, we arrived at
Bar Harbor. We docked anchor off-shore
requiring us to use tenders to go ashore.
I had booked an
excursion to Acadia National Park, but it was cancelled because it was closed
due to the Federal Government shut-down.
So, I hopped on one
of the local tour trolleys for a nice one hour drive around the island,
stopping to look at Frenchman Bay, passing by a number of old houses, and
seeing Cadillac Mountain from a distance.
Back in town, I
treated myself to a delicious lobster lunch.
After which, I walked
around this upscale town looking into specialty stores and galleries which line
the main streets. One of them named after
me.
I sat in the park
enjoying the brilliant, cool autumn weather with the locals and watching boats in
the harbor.
I am convinced that
October is the best month to travel…fewer tourists, cooler weather, and slower
pace.
