I can't see!

Toured Bar Harbor, Maine

Heavy Fog

The day was to begin early with a “Whales & Puffins” tour aboard the Friendship V out of Frenchman Bay at Bar Harbor, but unfortunately the fog was so heavy that the ship couldn’t go out.

We were already in town, so we were able to wander the streets and spend some money prior to a fantastic lobster lunch at the Fish House Grill! 

Wishing then for a nap, we were bussed on a two and a half hour narrated tour (where I learned, among much other fascinating stuff, that the North is considered ‘down east’) of Acadia National Park – a spectacular park of more than 50 square miles, with panoramic views of the part of the 3,478 miles of Maine coastline. Except that again we could see little due to the heavy fog, which all the locals said was unusual!

I will throw in a few extra pictures, because what we could see was pretty special, like this home!

And looking down on the harbor from up in Acadia National Park, this shot of a cruise ship peeking out of the fog was kind of eerie!
