Maine 9/20/2009

Julie and I were invited to spend a couple days with an IBM friend from the sixties in East Blue Hill, Maine. There were actually a few others who lived in the town. This is their guest cottage which provided excellent comfort and accommodations.




These are our hosts, Connie and Ralph, on a tour of the Blue Hill harbor in Ralph's boat (one of only 105 of its type built in the Brooklin, Maine shipyard, the wooden boat capital).






The next day Julie and I drove over to Mt. Desert Island to tour around Acadia National Park. This is Northeast Harbor one of many that look alike to the untrained eye (mine).

We took a 12 mile hike (or was it a 1/2 mile) on Ship's Harbor nature trail to get an up close and personal view of the flora and fauna.




It was a relaxing mini vacation and Julie was able to visit five or six gift shops (all on plastic).
