Bar Harbour, Maine

Hi again,

Prior to our return trip to Bangor and Bar Harbour Ross wanted to take a picture of his corn crop just in case the Bandicoots decided to feast on his crop while we were away. As you can see the corn is in good condition and remains so. So this is a snap below which fulfills the saying " you build it and they will come" Well as you can see it worked as Bev and Murphy enjoyed a frolick in the corn before we departed on our trip.



While in Maine we purchased a new 46 inch Sanyo Digital HDTV which cost us US$650.00 which when converted to Australian was $ 711.00. Just shows how inexpensive some things are here.

After our shopping trip was completed we returned to Bar Harbour for the day with the intension of having lunch there . We had stayed in Bar Harbour during last winter so we wanted to take the opportunity to see what it looked like in the summer. Bar Harbour is a favourite holiday destination for many at this time of the year including President Obama and his family who had been visiting this area just a few days before our arrival. The town was very crowded so it was difficult to find a parking spot, eventually we travelled back up the highway for lunch and stopped at the lobster restaurant (pound) in the photo below. As you will see the lobsters are cooked in the outside pots.


We enjoyed the best lobster rolls we had ever eaten and you will see what we are saying from the photo below. The restaurant is directly across the road from the Airfield and as we were leaving the restaurant we saw several Lear Jets arrive and shortly thereafter we saw two civilan pilots followed by two Marine pilots who had walked from the airfied to enjoy a lobster lunch.


We will be returning to Bangor later this month on our return from Ottawa.


Love Bev and Ross
