Yesterday we arrived in Maine, my 47th state. We stopped at a rest area, and a truck/camper from Connecticut went the wrong way and almost hit the truck to get into a parking space. The funny thing is, they are two spaces away from us in our campground. Tom keeps calling him my buddy. I was so shocked at what they were doing that I was staring at them incredulously. The rest areas are nice in Maine. We saw this in one of them.
Our campground is nice but the sites are very unlevel. I had to manually level the trailer for the first time ever. I missed my automatic leveler. I was waiting on the trailer to start rolling backwards. I could just see myself running down the hill after it, with my arms in the air. That would have been a site. I talked with a couple from Maine who were camping across from us and the husband had been to McAlester, Oklahoma, my hometown. What are the chances of that? We had a nice conversation and Tom came out hunting for me because I was only supposed to be putting my Maine state on the map.
We took the Island Explorer Bus to Bar Harbor this morning. It is a free bus that takes people all around the area. We had lunch at Route 66 Diner. It was yummy! We both had Seafood, of course. I also found a lovely little shop called Cool as a Moose. It supports Longshoremen. Here’s some pictures from the restaurant. I enjoyed a wonderful Blueberry Soda there, made in Bar Harbor.
The rain arrived around 4:30 p.m. It’s not supposed to last for more than a few hours. We purposely waited until tomorrow to see Acadia National Park so we wouldn’t have to worry about rain. We’re renting what is called a Gem, an electric car to drive around the park. More on that tomorrow.
Our campground is on the water but we aren’t in one of those sites. I did take a picture when I was going to get my laundry. It feels like fall here now and interestingly the “season” ends today. I think kids must be going back to school and things will start slowing down for them. The bus routes change tomorrow as well.
We are enjoying Maine, but I really want to come back and take the ferry to Nova Scotia. It’s only 3 1/2 hours! We’ve had an amazing journey today and look forward to the National Park tomorrow. I hope you’re day has been amazing too.
