09/25/2011 Revisited Acadia National Park since the fog has lifted for today. We will be able to see Cadillac Mountain, Which is the first land in the U.S. that sunrise touches, even though it is only around 1600 ft. above sea level. Even though it was sunny in Bar Harbor, whale watching was cancelled due to fog 22 -25 miles off shore. 09/24/2011 Stayed over extra day to try whale watching again. Yeah!! we are going.

On our ... read more
