Well I woke up *this* morning (Friday, September 18th 2009 AD), and I had the frozen nose blues! Haha, well you've probably had enough of that, eh?
We ate breakfast, which for me was a Vanilla 'Hot Cereal' by Kashi. Unfortunately, though, it had a whole bunch of healthy stuff, which pretty much ruined the taste in my opinion.
After our 'Hot Cereals' we decided to leave for the main part of Acadia National Park. At first, Dad doubted that we could spend two whole days there. Well, he was in for a surprise.
As it was cloudless and a nice comfortable 65 degrees, the tour guide at the visitors center told us that we should hurry up to Cadillac Mountain (Sorry, Jon, no nice cars up there =P) We did as he bid, and were soon driving up probably the most beautiful mountain in my life. All the way up were better and better views, each one of either the Maine seaside with conifer islands specking the coast, or masterfully carved glacial mountains with the perfect mixture of forest and rocky outcrops. It was stunning (Dad said it looked as beautiful as Switzerland)
We made it up to the top, and climbed around the relatively flat rocks that covered it. In the distance, we saw a cruise ship that looked like a matchbox car, with smaller vessles for transporting passengers from the ship which were like tiny needleheads. I'd bet that we could see clearly out for 20-30 miles (Dad agreed).
After this stunning moment, we decided to take the Island Circle Road, a 2-lane one way road that circled the main attractions around the island. We went to Thunder Bay, which definitely made some noise as it dazed me with it's blue and frothy-white color. We then left for several other places like Otter Cliffs and Sandy Beach (apparently the only one with sand in Acadia.) They were all quite beautiful. Acadia will hold quite some memories with me.
We then decided to head to Bar Harbor for lunch. We went to a high-quality american food where I ordered a big juicy burger, Greta got fried shrimp and Dad got seafood quesadillas. Filled up to the brim (and maybe past it) I toddled away with my clique to go and explore some of the local shops. Mostly, the typical tourist stuff. There we a couple funny sayings on T-Shirts like [picture of golf ball in sand pit] 'Life is Crap' or a picture of a squirrell 'I'm so old I forgot where my nuts are!' and a license plate that said 'BAA HA BAH' (Get it).
We went back to the camp, did a bit of work, made dinner and now I am writing this blog from the pretty nice interenet that our campsite has! Cya tomorrow!
