Bar Harbor, ME

My parents picked us up at the base of Katahdin in Baxter State Park and we were off to Bar Harbor on the coast of Maine. We stayed at the Bluenose Inn with a beautiful view of harbor and cruise ships which had come in for the day. We spent much of the afternoon in Acadia National Park. The park is on the harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The coast of Maine is much like the coast of California with huge cliffs overlooking the water with seals and whales.

After Bar Harbor, we headed over to Boothbay Harbor which was about a hour and a half drive down the coast. We stayed at Brown's Wharf Inn with an amazing view of the harbor from our back porch. Boothbay reminded me a lot of the Florida Keys with the smell of seafood in the air. The harbor was litered with commerical lobster boats tied off to mooring balls in the middle of the harbor.

We are certainly enjoying our hoilday. We are off to Kennebunkport now.

Thunder Hole. The waves make a loud noise on the rocks.
