Bar Harbor

Ahhh, we love anchoring in Somes Sound and using the buses to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia.  The buses are free, compliments of LL Bean, and use natural gas instead of stinky gas or diesel.

Although there are designated stops, the buses will stop almost anywhere that they can if you wave them down.  Our bus stop is at the Somesville library, across the street from the pretty little Historical Museum.

All bus routes start and end at the Village Green park in Bar Harbor.  It's a nice little square, and it is green.  At least this time of the year, it is!

Lots of blocks of stores, all vying for the tourist money,

It was a good day.  Pizza!

Ice cream! (are you seeing a trend here?)

We were successful shoppers, too.  Luke snagged 6 books and 3 or 4 music CD's for $3 from the town library's 1/2 price book sale.  Oh, and a haircut.

I found a brand new, tags still attached, $75 purse at the local thrift shop for $5!  Oh, and a haircut. and groceries.

Here is view of Somes Sound as we head back for Latitudes and Smokey.

She was ecstatic to be let out and into the warm sunshine.  She IS a cat...such a cat...

Last night we had high winds, almost 30 knots at times, and slept little.  Latitudes and our anchor did great and we never budged from our anchored spot.  Today, Luke took the bus to go off for a hike and I took the bus to go into SW Harbor to do a little shopping.  Back at our little library to do the blog.

We have reserved bikes for tomorrow to ride the carriage trails in Acadia.  Should be beautiful!
