Maine

We finally arrived in Ba Haba, Maine, or Bar Harbor to the rest of us.
Cadillac mountain in Acadia (I think they left the r out of the name so we would all pronounce it the same) National Park is the tallest mountain on the eastern US coast. You can see all the surrounding area.

Of course our primary reason for coming here was the food....lobster!
 Lobster
And, more lobster!
You can get lobster everywhere here. Enjoyed some at Stewman's Restaurant at the harbor area.
Picked some up at Eastern Lobster Pound near our RV park, and enjoyed dinner sitting outside; clam chowder, mussels, lobster, wine. What more could you want!


Visited the Oceanarium where they study and facilitate the harvesting of lobster. Each of the eggs on the bottom of this mom, well about 1/2 of 1% of them, will make a great 1-1/2 lb meal in about 7 years.
Could be looking at a future meal!
Over 120 million pounds were caught in Maine last year. We didn't make much of a dent in that annual harvest but enjoyed trying.

Now it is off to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada...if the officials let us in.
