Driving in Maine

Category: Vacation — Ian C. @ 9:27 pm

Margaret & I chose a different sort of vacation this time – 1000 miles of driving with no flights, airport delays, or other hassles!
We headed north into Maine, and spent “slow time” seeing beautiful scenery and enjoying fabulous weather :)
There’s over 140 pictures in the Gallery, or you can peek at a few highlights here … as always, click any pic for a bigger version.

Most of our trip was up the coast, so there’s lots of pictures of harbors & coastal scenery. Such as:

Boothbay Harbor:

Castine:

Bar Harbor:

Acadia National Park:

Inland at Acadia there was lots more water, including a wonderful (but hot!) three mile walk around Jordan Pond, with stone steps over streams into the pond, and a tree-covered boardwalk:

Many animals too, including a snake at Jordan Pond, seals during the boat trip out of Bar Harbor, and Alpacas at Winters Gone farm:

Other great things included an out-of-the-way jigsaw puzzle store, and all the B&Bs we stayed in (including at Bar Harbor and at Kennebunkport on the way home), the Kennebunk Plain – unusual since most of Maine is tree-covered – and the Penobscot bridge with aerial views from the top:

Oh – and a sunset!

A great trip :)
