Instead of just going up north to our condo in Charlevoix to see the fall colors, we decided to do something a little different; we journeyed to New England, more specifically Bar Harbor, Maine to see their fall colors and to munch on fresh lobster.
We have never been there so it was a true adventure for us. The weather was in the 50s and we were lucky to have sunshine most of the time.
Bar Harbor is actually located on an island (check your map) which also happens to be Acadia National Park.
We drove the loop roads around the area, we hiked small mountains and around ponds (small lakes) and perched on the rocky cliffs that make up Maine’s coastline. We also took boats out into the bays to learn about lobster and crab fishing and view mansions of the rich and famous perched on top of rock formations. We took the most pictures of any vacation so far (500+) because every where we turned – another photo op!
The village of Bar Harbor was quaint with one or two cruise ships in their harbor on a daily basis which deposited hundreds if not thousands of people in the small village. Lucky for us, most ship passengers were whisked away by tour busses to explore the area and did not interfere too much with our adventure.
We ate a lobster dish every day (as we intended) everything from lobster in a kind of hot dog bun to lobster enchiladas and lobster pizza. We even visited a real lobster fishing village to get the full feel and flavor of the area.
We will now bore our relatives with all those pictures…
