Bar Harbor & Acadia
Ships in Bar Harbor
July 16, 2004
Bar Harbor and Acadia was the retreat for the East coast rich for years before it
was made a national park. The area is beautiful, however also quaint. When something
is "quaint" I usually get bored of it quite quickly due to my lack of
patience and this was the case in Bar Harbor.
We drove to the top of the mountain in Acadia National Park, went on a lobster tour,
visited a church with multiple Tiffany windows, then waited for our cruise ship
to depart.
I took little from here other than a story about how there used to be so many lobsters
in the ocean people would literally walk 10 feet into the ocean and rake them in.
In fact a prison in Maine had a prisoner uprising because they got sick of eating
lobster every day; lobster was poor man's food. I tried the local specialty,
but placed it on my list of seafood preferences: none. I'll stick to my Midwestern
roots... beef.
