Last night brought about 8 to 12 foot waves as we traveled between Boston and Bar Harbor. At one point, while having dinner, the ship leaned to one side and a huge wave hit the dining room window. This resulted in loud gasps from many of the guests on that side of the room. The rough seas continued most of the night, literally rocking us to sleep last night. But today arrived with sunny skies and calm waters. We began our day singing happy birthday to Richard's mom and having a nice breakfast in the dining room (eggs benedict)!
Then we headed out to see Bar Harbor. Or is it Ba Haba? I love the English language. Each region of the country gets to change it up a little! Some drop or add consonants and some add syllables. We spent this beautiful 70 degree day in one of the most beautiful cities I've been to.
The downtown area consisted of quaint old shops, mostly selling souveniers, but there were some interesting local crafts to be found, such as hand-made sea glass jewerly.
After lunch we took a tour to Acadia National Park. It was breathtaking! We stopped at the top of Cadillac Mountain, at Thunder Hole, and visited the wild gardens of Acadia.
After returning to the ship, we continued our birthday celebration with a nice dinner of surf and turf and cherries jubilee for dessert. It was a great day!
