Alma to Nova Scotia The rain was at it again this morning so we slept in a bit as it was so dark outside. Marg got her shower in first while I went and got a fresh cup of coffee courtesy of the campground. Pennelope is parked at Bay View Campground, one of two spots they have for travelers. The other 6 spots are seasonal so the campers stay there until the middle of October. There is also a 4 room motel and 4 chalets up the hill, they have the bay view. They provided us with firewood if we wanted a fire, cds or vcrs for movies and free coffee, tea or hot chocolate. They are a really nice couple and have a fairly simple operation. Breakfast was at the Octopus Garden (right Marg?) which ... read more

WE woke to a brilliant pink sky. Sunrise wasn’t for a while yet but the sky was anticipating it’s arrival. Marg and I both showered in the exceptional showers and were home for the sun rise . We didn’t have the Oh God sunrise of yesterday but it was wonderful. We broke camp, had breakfast and headed out for Alma by 8:55 am. Yesterday we met a woman from St.John’s who said how wonderful it was so we had to see it. Well, it was a full fledged city! We drove around a little then decided to head for Alma. An hour later we were there and marveling at the small, quaint, sea town. We checked into the rv park, left the van and headed for Cape Enrage. It was a beautiful drive over a mt ... read more

Travel day I slept in! Can’t believe it but when I woke it was after 8am. It was very windy out but warm. Marg jumped up and went right to the showers because she had a cold one yesterday. Thought if she got there early it would be warm. It was great so she came back energized and ready to lend a hand. We prepared some things then decided to have our 2nd coffee/tea watching the wind and water and the seagulls fly by. Our last hoorah for this great Bar Harbor experience. We were off by 10:45. We traveled north and then east ending up on highway 9. The terrain changed to rolling hills then more elevation and the trees were changing more and some places were outstanding. We reached the border to Canada at ... read more

Sunrise and Sunset It’s still dark but we’re going. Yes, sunrise on Cadillac Mt. Apparently when one is in Acadia you must do sunrise on the mt. We just dressed and were on the road by 5:45 A. M. The sky was getting brighter as we traveled along, would we make it! When we reached the summit the parking lot was almost full, it must be the thing to do. I took a picture of the people waiting to witness this every day event but somehow it felt special. There was a reverence about the crowd, an anticipation, of something special. And special it was. Many pictures. At 6:30am it was all over and we all went back to our everyday lives. We drove home to have a hearty oatmeal and walnut pancake breakfast then it ... read more
