Hi, All --

There's a causeway which goes from Bar Harbor's harbor area to nearby Bar Island during low tide. Yesterday Bob and I walked partway to the Island and then turned around as the tide was coming in. We then sat on a rock and watched the drama -- people trailing out of the Island woods and noting to their dismay that the causeway had started to go under water in parts. Four only got water over their ankles; another pair waded through water up to their knees and looked rather distraught. They might want to check a tide table next time.

The rest of the photos were taken during our eight days here in Acadia Nat'l Park and surrounding areas.

Tomorrow we take off for Canada -- we're not quite sure where. We'll surprise you!

By the way, a millisecond after I hit "publish" on my last blog, I noted that I had misspelled the title, leaving the "e" out of the work "touches." For an old English teacher, that was a bit embarrassing.

Oh - such a gorgeous place to live. I have family - brother and nieces nearby that area. I'd be there, too if it weren't for the cooooold winters.

Love the Photos
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. The house in Southwest Harbor could be the set for a mystery movie. I don't think I could sleep alone there. I'm spooky about things that go bump in the night. Love, Joan
