Where We Be

| Acadia National Park, Maine |
| Posing near The Bubbles after some of the best popovers in the world at Jordan Pond House |
| We got a kick out of the Chinese man behind us who exclaimed, “My leg is soft!” meaning his legs were wobbly just watching Robin near the cliff's edge |
We and our two friends took full advantage of
an unexpectedly sunny day and went exploring
in Acadia National Park. First we visited a few
sights on the "quiet side" of the island -- Bass
Harbor Lighthouse, Seawall, and the village of
Manset. Then it was off to Jordan Pond House
for some of the best popovers with butter and
jam this side of anywhere. We walked down to
the edge of Jordan Pond and saw the two
distinctive hills called The Bubbles.
Afterwards we drove famous Park Loop Road,
seeing Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, Thunder
Hole, and Otter Cliffs. From Cadillac Mountain
we could see a cruise ship pulled into Bar
Harbor. At Otter Cliffs we took turns peering
over the sheer drop-off on all fours. A Chinese
man behind us said, “My leg is soft!” meaning
his legs were wobbly just watching us! We
returned home along Sargents Drive, following
the same route as the marathon the day before.

| Lovely view from Otter Cliffs |
| Robin's ancestor was a lighthouse keeper here |
| Famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse -- ten minutes from the family home |
| Sometimes it takes friends coming into town to revisit gorgeous landmarks like Otter Cliffs |
| Our friend Robert stands on Sand Beach -- the surf here is bigger than I remembered |
| Thunder Hole is one of the most famous sights along Park Loop Road -- it was quiet today but can really thunder with water during a storm |
| Popovers with jam at Jordan Pond House -- delicious! [not my photo] |
