We unhooked Satan and drove into town. We parked at the harbor and took a nice stroll through the shops, waterfront, and fish markets. Most every thing was closed up but one market has a great assortment of lobsters and clams...and everything else seafood...and we purchased a couple of live lobsters. Back at home we cooked them both up and has a feast. We decided to save the clams for the next day.
The following morning we decided to drive further north to Arcadia National Park, tour the park, have lunch, and make a full day of it. We gassed up Satan and headed north east. We past through August and saw the capitol rotunda, then turned toward the coast and headed for the Arcadia peninsula. We past the entrance to the park and headed into Bar Harbor where we found a nice restaurant open and serving lunch. The views from the restaurant windows were spectacular and the food was great. The sun finally came out for the first time this day and we started to look forward to our visit to the park.
We drove around the little village a bit before heading out on what we thought was the same highway we entered. After driving for about an hour we realized we were back on the mainland and had missed the park entrance. It would have a been an additional two hours to correct our error by this point so we decided to drive on to Bangor and then back to Portland. BTW, on the way back, we missed the Bangor exit as well.
The next two days we hung out at home, worked on the trip plan for the Nepal and India tour, and took in a couple more movies.
