Goodness gracious me. We woke up at 4:30am so we could watch the sun rise over Cadillac Mountain at 5:18am. It is one of two points along the NE coast that is in contention for the first location in the US to see the sun rise. We are covering our bases by seeing the sun rise tomorrow at Lubec, ME (the eastern-most point in the US).
After a successful, yet cold, sunrise (it is foggy on and off throughout the entire day), we drove around Acadia National Park a bit more (just for a couple of hours), getting our National Passports stamped and picking wild blueberries (the only thing you can legally take from the park). We then drove to Lubec, checked into our bed and breakfast, and then went into Canada for a few hours.
We went from west to east, north to south. The island is only 10 miles long, and we saw most of it. It is very beautiful here, but I like the area around Portland, ME, the most so far. I'm going to start small summering there.... :oD. We shall see how Prince Edward Island compares.
All-in-all, but besides waking up so early, it was a pretty relaxed day.
Asides: 1) I can see the border with Canada from our Windows. It's pretty neat, especially at night, with a bit of fog-halo. 2) we actually have decent Wi-Fi at this B&B! (It has only 2 or 3 rooms.) However, we are connected to the Lubec Public Library...... Must be close by (this is a
small town). 3) don't know if I'll have any way to communicate from here on out, to include this blog. My phone is roaming as it is when not on Wi-Fi (so I've pretty much turned everything off). We'll post as soon as we are able to.
The bright lights across the water are the border crossing. I was standing in our bed and breakfast room. Sorry for the screen.
I found this sea urchin shell in the forest. Granted, there was a 100 foot drop off no more than 15 feet from where I found it... A sea bird must have had a lovely meal of it.
Fog (and creepy-looking forest) and lovely shore in Campabello Island, New Brunswick, Canada.
