Acadia National Park

Hot Popovers

semi-overcast 0 °F

We drove a circle loop around the park, mainly along the shore. Some beautiful views, even though it was overcast for much of the day. Striking formations of granite. Some lobster boats checking their traps; they've got a lot of tourists to feed. We had popovers and high tea at on the lawn Jordan's Pond, the way they used to do it years ago. By then, mid-afternoon, it had brightened up considerably, very sunny. The lawn afforded a beautiful view of 'Bubbles," twin dome-shaped mountains carved by the glacier eons ago.
Then, back to Bar Harbor, a town of just 2,000 people. It's a very pleasant place, nice to walk around. Not overdone and not too crowded. We were were told it become a ghost town in the winter when all of the tourists and seasonal workers are gone.
