We are back in the United States.  We crossed over the border about 11:30 Atlantic Time, 10:30 Eastern Standard Time.  We drove from Truro, Nova Scotia, to Ellsworth, Maine.  Ellsworth is about 26 miles north of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. 

As soon as we arrived in town, we checked into our motel, unpacked, ate a snack, and headed out to Acadia and Bar Harbor.  Although school is not out up here yet, there are plenty of visitors to this area.   The road to the park was busy and there were lots of people in the park.  We drove through the park a bit, and then drove up Cadillac Mountain.  This mountain is the highest point in the park and commands a breathtaking view of the bay.  It is reached by a windy, twisty road that is not one that I enjoyed.  When we reached the top, I made pictures.  Ron did not as he said that it was not clear enough.  I told him that I was not riding up and down that @#$% road and not making pictures.  I did not care how they turned out; I just wanted it all documented.  However, the view is about a 360 degree view, so it is impossible to capture it in pictures.

 

 

 

 

After returning from the park and town, we stopped at a fantastic seafood restaurant right on the bay.  I had “Steamers” (steamed clams) for the first time.  They were marvelous.  We both had scallops which were grilled.  So good!  We have had our best seafood of the trip here in Maine.  I am beginning to believe that no one else can do seafood like people in Maine.  I still haven’t had a lobster roll, but may tomorrow.   We will have to stop somewhere and have one more great seafood meal before we leave Maine.
