We had a beautiful view of Mt. Katahdin from the farmhouse in the morning as we were packing and getting on our way. After our harrowing hike, we felt a bit connected to the Mt., and it was kind of sad to go. It was a nice drive down to Bar Harbor. We stopped at Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for our first whole lobsters. You just go and pick one out and they throw it in boiling sea water. 20 minutes later - yum! (poor little lobsters!) We stopped at Sweet Pea winery on the island (MDI so we are told - Mount Desert Island). We drove into Acadia and over to the Jordan Pond House - a park restaurant known for their "popovers". It was so BEAUTIFUL!!! We were sat outside on the lawn overlooking the mts. and a lake. We both had lobster stew and popovers - the best $20 soup we'd ever had. :) The weather was great so we drove up to Cadillac Mt. and enjoyed a stunning view of the harbor. On to the B&B. Very nice. Many common rooms, lots of space to spread out. Afternoon tea, evening wine and hors de voures (sp??). We are eagerly anticipating our 3 course breakfast (creme brulee french toast is one option). Our room is small, but very bright and sunny. They even left chocolates last night . We feel very pampered! We will be doing a driving/hiking tour of the park on Thursday, and biking or hiking on Friday. Oh by the way, don't let anyone tell you that lobster is cheap by the ocean!! Gee whiz! We've had lobster, fish, whole belly clams (yes, that's whole belly - ew!).
