This morning we woke up to a beautiful view of the harbor. It wasn't long before the Queen Mary II ship came into view. It is such a stately ship. Soon the tenders were lowered to the water, followed by passengers boarding, coming to shore and filling the town and tour buses. The last of the 130 ships for the season will come in on November 1.
A step-on guide joined our loaded bus and we drove to Acadia National Park. Our first stop was the top of Cadillac Mountain. It was mighty cold and windy up there. We stopped two more times for photo ops. We learned about the devastating 1947 forest fire which burned up to 17,000 acres of woods, and many homes. After the evergreens burned, they were replaced by deciduous trees. The result was the colorful trees which they now have. During the two hour tour, we took many pictures of the water, trees, mountains, and nature.
We spent most of the day driving across Maine to New Hampshire. Looked at the landscape which really looked alot like Wisconsin, watched the movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," and napped.
Enjoyed a delicious dinner. We both had haddock. The fish has been outstanding. I think they both have really good fish and know how to prepare it. Time to call it a day.
