The Drive to Bar Harbor ( Bahh Hob bahh)

Saturday, September 24th.   We left at about 10:30 for our 4 hour drive.  We drove through rain and a heavy overcast.  After we got set up at our new campground we drove into Bar Harbor.  Although not raining, it was still heavily overcast.  As we came over the hill into town, we could see the tops of the numerous islands off the coast.  There was also a cruise ship in the harbor as this is a popular cruise destination  for seeing fall colors.  The town is neat, but very touristy.  I'm sure the residents here are looking forward to getting their town back after tourist season.  We saw one truck that had a bumper sticker that said..."if it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?"
lobster at last

After walking around town,  we went to one of the many lobster restaurants.  They call them lobster "pounds"  We had a full lobster dinner with corn on the cob and onion rings.  It's unfortunate that there's only meat in the tail and the claws.   But it's very good.
