Maine

Hello from Maine...burrrr!

Today we went to Acadia National Park. It was so beautiful! The leaves are a little pass peak, but it was still so pretty. I would really like to come back in the summer.

Here is a picture from a lookout point.

Here is a picture of a light house...WAY off in the distance!

Then we saw something really cool... a named bathroom...

No really, Thunder Hole is a cool place in the rocky coast where the tide fills in a big hole and makes a sound like a clap of thunder.

This is a view above Thunder Hole...

This is Stephen down near Thunder Hole...it was already full...so no picture of the actual hole!

Here is a wet Rosalind...the tide was coming in and it got me wet while I was trying to take a picture and not paying attention. Burrrr...cold!

Another picture near thunder hole.

Cranberries grow wild around here...they have large cranberry barrens.

Then we went to the top of Cadillac Mountain (1580 ft) for 360 degree view of BarHarbor. Can you see the town down below?

On our way back to Bangor we stopped at a Lobster Pound for dinner. I didn't order Lobster, but I tasted Stephen's...yummy! I also ate some clam chowder...yummy! It was a cool little place...you could buy lobster to take home or eat it right there! It was neat! We had yummy food and good laughs!

So, Maine hasn't been all fun... on our first night while checking out Bangor and getting dinner and also a few groceries we had a little problem. When we came out of the grocery store, the rental car wouldn't start. Something about the anti-theft device not recognizing the key! The car had to be towed and we had to get a new rental...but the whole thing took like two and a half hours and it got dark and cold in that time!

In closing...while the rest of the world in deciding between McCain and Obama...around here they are voting for...

That's right good old Tom Sawyer!
