We had as peaceful a night as a squatter could wish for and woke
up early and Rachel took a few pics of the sunrise as I broke down camp. We caught the first ferry to a small island
of Canada’s called Campabello and then hit the US border. The customs guy was
real nice and did not make us feel like criminals for not knowing that we could
not bring Canadian oranges back to the US which was nice. We lost the bag of oranges and about 2
minutes chatting about this and that when he turned us loose. We stopped at a place or two along our way to
Acadia NP.
At Acadia we stopped at an overlook and hiked down to the
water for lunch. After lunch we found
the campground set-up and took a nice hike through the woods up Cadillac
Mountain to Eagles Crag for some more photos a la Rachel. After we got back to camp we decided to go
out to eat. We wondered around Bar
Harbor for about 30 minutes and I settled on a place that we both really
enjoyed. I had the lobster roll (which
was the best I had) while Rachel enjoyed the coup de gras, Lobster Mac and
Cheese. It was creamy, tender and had
just enough cheese for a lobster mac.
There were a afew ribbons of parmesan on top and I don’t know how but
they managed to keep the lobster consistency tender rather than allowing it to
get chewy. Everything was in just the
right proportion and had just the right texture. I would not have believed it had I not tasted
it for myself and we went to be just slightly uncomfortable.
Our final day we woke up at 4:30 because we retired at 7:30
the evening before and just packed to go because we were both ready to come home
because we are both out of cloths and don’t want to do laundry for one more day
on the road. I hit the jackpot in NH
because they don’t tax liquor and had it at legendary prices. I bought more than I should have but we have
needed to restock on a few staples for a year or more and have been dreading
the price. I estimate I saved about 90
in all and was able to pick some really good Scotch (and two for myself) up for
Danh too.
For lunch we ate at Super Duper Weenie, our disappointment
from our trip up when we discovered they were closed.
