Day 11


  Well, we arrived HOME this afternoon at 2:45 pm. Made good time, was hoping to miss the storm, we drove through some rain, but not as much today as we did yesterday. We had a great trip, saw lots of interesting things. It is always amazing to see how the land structure is in different parts of the United States. It is quite rocky and hilly in Maine, very pretty state.
Although we had a great trip, it is always nice to get Home. Things looked great here also. We are pretty tired tonight. Talk to everyone soon. Love to all.

We traveled from Erie, Pa. to Logansport, Indiana today.  We drove through sunny weather, rainy weather three different times. Also quite hot weather, it was 86' in Indiana when we stopped for gas.
We will leave in the morning and should be home tomorrow later afternoon. Hope everyone stays safe with the storms  coming. See you soon.

Day 9

We travel along Hwy 20 most of the day across New York. Saw beautiful scenery. Traveled through New York farm land. Quite interesting. Was a relaxing drive. We are staying at a Super 8 tonight near Erie, Pennsylvania.  We received vouchers from the motel for the Casino next door.  We played and won enough to pay for our supper, with a little extra. Didn't loose it all this time. Having a good time.

We left the cottage this morning around 7 am. Had great traveling, the trees had turned more since we came here. The view was beautiful and very peaceful.  We stopped in Woodstock, Vermont and Dad got his REAL Maple syrup. Good time to walk around a little. We are in Saratoga Springs, New York tonight staying at a Comfort Inn. Ready for a break.

Day Seven

 Today we just visited the close area. We wanted to rest up for the trip heading back home.  We decided to Steam our own Lobsters.  Dad did the lobster steaming on a gas burner in the front of our cottage. He did a great job, they were really good. We just relaxed the rest of the day.
We will be leaving Maine tomorrow morning, hope to get a good days drive in. It has been a great trip visiting Maine, what a beautiful state. Glad we toured Acadia National Park on Sunday, it was closed today. Feel bad for the people that have come to visit it.

Day Six

 Today we made a day trip going to Quoddy Head Light House in Lubec, Maine. It is the Easternmost
Light house in the U.S.
This is the Head Harbour Light House in New Brunswick, Canada.  We crossed the border and did some sight seeing there.  Ate our lunch at a quaint little restaurant there also. Had a good day, the temps were in the 50's and 60's.

We made it to our apartment,(cottage) at 4:20pm on Sat. was pretty tired, but really liked out place to stay. We unpacked and then went looking for a place to eat. We ate at a restaurant called The Fisherman's Inn.  Dad had his lobster meal, I had scallopes.  Both meals were really good. This picture is taken Sunday morning when we were ready to leave for the day.


 This is a view from in Acadia National Park. We saw some very beautiful scenery. We ate lunch
at Jordan's Pond, a place right in Acadia National Park.
 This is a picture of Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park. We saw it at low tide and then went back to see it at high tide, this is high tide.
We waited at Schoodic Point for the sun to set, it was beautiful. Sure slipped down fast, before 6:10 pm. It was getting pretty chilly waiting for the sun to set. Had a great day, we have many more pictures. The trees are really showing color. It was 68' today, beautiful day, a lot of people out and about. Can't believe how crowded it would be if it was summer season. They are saying it is really quiet now.
