Thursday Day 6

An early morning ride to the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.  Cold and windy on top, but pretty vistas.

After freezing on Cadillac, we drove into Northeast Harbor and had lunch at the Docksider Cafe.  The we visited the Asticou Inn Azalea Garden.  Very pretty.

The gardeners were cleaning out trees while we were walking around.  This looked interesting, but then what can I say?

Then on to Jordan Pond in the Park.  We had eaten lunch at the Lodge at Jordan Pond on Tuesday, they are famous for popovers.  Which seam to me to be no more than a little bread filled with a lot of air.  We took off for a short walk around the Pond, which turned into a 2 1/2 hour hike.

Acadia National Park is one of the most picturesque places I’ve visited with the mountains and the ocean, islands galore.  Well worth a visit.

Winding down, tomorrow is the last day the a long drive back to the airport on Saturday.
