Enjoyed the video immensely, Acadia is the closest US national park to me, so have been there many times from neighbouring New Brunswick, but it's amazing to think you were so close by. Actually the last time there was November 2018 when we rode up Cadillac Mountain, it was definitely cooler that day, but still beautiful.

Great vid Lea. I've made several trips to the island over many years. It's a fav visit. Unique scenery abounds. Delicious food and a ferry ride to Nova Scotia. It's hard to imagine ice a mile deep carving the stone with gravels. A truly wonderful place. On north up Hwy 1 is some more nice towns and one of the very oldest settlements in America. Come back again, there's much more to see. Safe travels wherever you go.

Happy new year. What a great park. Great roads, very green, great views. The coast looks a lot like the coast north of Ålesund in Norway. Both formed by glaciers. The whole landscape is flattened by them. I do like lobster meat but I once had to disassemble a smaller lobster myself to get to the meat. It put me of lobster and crab meat for a while. I’m partially vegetarian. I do eat meat or fish but only for a few days a week.

@Got2Go Жыл бұрын

Yes that’s exactly how I do it too - if there is something special or I am invited I eat certain animals (mostly seafood though) and otherwise not. Agree with the lobster, I find it delicious but I as well don’t like how they are cooked. So that’s why I only tried this one lobster shack…

@marylousherman5471 Жыл бұрын

Curious to know if Thurston's Lobster Pound is in Bass Harbor.... lived near there many years ago and it was owned by Charley (can't remember his last name).... there's also the winding carriage roads, 12 stone bridges, a great view of Frenchman's Bay as you come down around a curve on a bicycle and see a cruise ship dwarfing the bay.... that's when you know not to shop in Bar Harbor because of the crowds! Also, seafood stands selling excellent crab-rolls are numerous around the island. Last, but not least, Fall is the best season to visit - less crowded and the colors are stunning. Thanks for your video tour.... brought back memories.
