Day 20 - Wednesday July 19 - Bar Harbor, ME



Goodbye Canada - Hello Maritime USA



So today we said goodbye to our home and native land - but things are dragging on, so we're going to change up the format. Less babble, more pics. Sorry, it's taking too long. 


Just across the Maine border we came across 'yard sales'. These temporary swap meets seem to crop up all over the East Coast in the US. Really just the mall parking lot carnival version of Value Village, but Gord did find a bunch of old matchbox cars for a buck. Not a bad deal. 


Our home for the next two days - this KOA deluxe studio cabin. 

We chose the Oceanside Bar Harbor (Baa Haaba) KOA because of a strong review from friends of ours. And the cabin was a treat. All the creature comforts of home (save the stove - but there is a microwave and a bbq) with an ocean view!

Gord loved that there was a bed in the kitchen! T loved the AC and full bathroom!


Our dining room with ocean view!



Approaching downtown Bar Harbor. It was hotter than it looked.

Gord can make a jungle gym of nearly anything.

The ocean view from downtown.

We were hungry and hot. If only there was a tourist town with a million options. What a minute...


We stopped in for a crepe, a muffin, some lemonade and a smoked salmon bagel.



Gord chose some tentacles at the tourist waste of money store - Theresa was not impressed.

The park and view was quite nice - more so once we were fed.

Back 'home' for some dinner before an evening swim!



The pool was warm and shallow and mostly empty - great for this bunch!

Tomorrow we'd explore a little more, but so far so good.
