A week in Maine: Bar Harbor

One of the things on our bucket list has been an autumn visit to Maine. Fortunately, my brother Ronnie and wife Sally invited us to join them on such an adventure. We spent a week at a great Bed & Breakfast in Bar Harbor. We were able to walk just about everywhere and enjoyed many fine meals, the fantastic scenery, the beautiful harbor with all the boats, and ice cream after every meal! This place seemingly has an ice cream/frozen yogurt/gelato vendor on every block and we were only too happy to oblige. Maine produces over 90% of all wild, low-bush blueberries in the country, and being a big fan of blueberries, I had to sample most of all the edibles/drinkables which contained them. We spent a lot of time in the amazing Acadia National Park, and made a day trip to L.L. Bean corporate headquarters in Freeport. We had a terrific week!
