We woke up to a grey, overcast sky but not
enough to deter us. Today was guided tour day and we were going to
ride Olly'sTrolly come what may. But first we were going to take
a recommendation from Luke and have breakfast at "Cafe This
Way" in Bar Harbor. It certainly was worth the early start to
the day. Thank you Luke for another good choice.. The tour started
with a trip around Bar Harbor and given the history of all the
wealthy people who came to the Island and built "cottages",
read big houses. The wealthy certainly made a contribution to the
development of Bar Harbor and the surrounding area but none more so
than a Mr Door who spent most of his fortune and life either buying
or cajoling other wealthy people to donate the land that now forms
Acadia National Park. We now enjoy this area in no small way due
to his efforts. The tour also included a ride to the top of Cadillac
Mountain, the tallest in the area but it was more like a VW than than
a Cadillac due to the mist. It was a good day and we ended it with a
meal from Joe the Lobster Man. We convinced Faye that no effort was
spared to bring about a humane end to Larry the lobster so that we
may have dinner.
