This morning started a little later than usual. At 9:15 AM, we left for the day. Took the bus to downtown Bar Harbour. The temp is 58 - high of 61 today, with some sun. It doesn't take us long to realize that the season is almost over here. The coffee shop where we had coffee and Grandma's blueberry coffee cake (not baked today or yesterday) is closing in two days. The ice cream store (only 99 cents a scoop) is closing in two days. The sports store next door is closing in two weeks. We walked around, did some shopping, enjoyed the ambiance, and took pictures. At 1:00 PM we got on a boat for a two hour tour. The non-stop commentator pointed out wild life (seals, eagles, harbour porpoises, puffins), cottages, and points of history. Then we took a half hour ride on a trolley with a driver who told us all about Bar Harbour history. A little later we headed out for a lobster dinner. Started out with mussels--delicious. We were then invited it to see the steamers filled with lobster, corn on the cob, and potatoes. Lobster is always a challenge to eat, but worth it. Our meal finished with blueberry (of course) cake. Headed back to pack up.
