Wednesday and on to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The guest house was a lovely peice of Maine traditional summer house design. Don't let "summer house" make you think it was small, it had a huge hall, sweeping staircase and lavish rooms. The gardens were very well kept and all in flower.

Thursday we took the car in to the park. The landscape is spectacular, with clear air and the sun shining the view from the top of Cadillac Mountain was stunning. We did the Park Loop Road as we only had a day and then took a detour into Northeast Harbor where they were having an arts and shop opening event. Live jazz played by two teenagers was really good and there were a few engaging shops.

That night we dined simply at Gringos, a Mexican burrito bar which made the best Margeritas.

Friday took us back south to Ogunquit (hour and a half from Boston) where we stayed at the Puffin Inn run by two charming gay fellows. Again a lovely guest house. That night we dined at Tapas and Tinis and eat to much Tapas and drunk too many Tinis!

Saturday moring we walked around ogunquit and then headed for Boston Logan Airport where I am typing this while having a glass of Champagne in the Virgin Clubhouse. 2 hours till we board... boo hoo.
