We had an early excursion today to visit Arcadia National Park, followed by a lobster lunch. The tour was interesting as we learned about the Bar Harbor area as well as the park. It was "the place to be" in the summer in the late 1900's, the time of the Vanderbilts and J.P. Morgan. Our guide said that in the summer the people here represented 88% of all the wealth in America! We stopped at a place called Thunder Hole. This is a special rock formation that compresses trapped air, making a loud thunder sound, but due to low tide all we could hear today was a gurgle. But the view of the rocky coat was spectacular.
We don't have anything else planned for today. Just a nice surf 'n turf supper (petite filet and tiger prawns) YUM!

I tried to talk the kids into bringing me a lobster but Melissa said only if she could make a pet out it. I told her sure she could till she got him home and I melted the butter...YUM! Looks delicious! The coast looks very much like Portland, ME there. My daughter should be loving the weather though...cool temps today! (There and here) Little Miss Molly Messy is doing great (but the Lions are not! The Pack is stomping them). Molly can't eat without knocking half the food out of the bowl...LOL. Have fun looking for whales tomorrow~ Sylvia
I remember going to Arcadia National Park many years ago and seeing Thunder Hole then. :)
