Holiday Inn Waterville,Me

We left Eastport today. The sun is still shinning, so down the coast we go, stopping at Acadia National Park. We took the 27 mile park loop. Lots of people and cars. Attractive sights, but we have seen other places in Maine equally if not more spectacular which are uncrowded. The drive up Cadilac Mountian was worth it. It is only 1500 feet up but the views are spectaclur ...

We made it. Maine. We woke up at our campsite in Vermont. It was dry. We had coffee and hot showers and drove into Woodstock. This town is really charming. Old house and covered bridges. We walked all over town and had a great breakfast at a diner that sold "mile high pies." They claimed their apple pie had 3.5lbs. of apples in them. The rain started so we hit the road. It rained constantly. We crossed the Maine ...

It is only 4 days away, but it seems like forever. As some of you know I will be backpacking central america for winter break.I am leaving this saturday December 20th, I will be landing in northern Honduras and other than that all I have is a general idea of where I will be heading. I will walk out of the airport without a plan and just..walk. I plan on visiting the Bay islands including Roatan. Journeying to Belize, Guatemala, the ...

... we went looking for an information centre to have morning tea and also find a rest rooms. Gee we reckon that is not too much to ask, the travellers figured, WRONG! The information centre (an old converted railway station), it was closed, upon asking two old guys sitting outside, we struck a shrug of the shoulders and "non comprehend" Oh gee restrooms, washrooms, bathrooms, toilette? Whatever! shouldn't be too ...

We hiked around Acadia NP up the mountains and down to the coast for a beautiful view along the coast. Then drove through Seal Harbor and stopped at Long Pond lodge restaurant for a bike ride. After bike ride we had lunch at Long Pond they just opened for the season. After lunch we drove through Bangor Maine to Palmyra RV park and Golf Course. I had my second cold shower in Maine campground just opened and cooked chicken on the BBQ.

... to cooperate. The glare from the rain and the tractor trailer trucks made many of our turns blinded and the paint in Maine on the roads just doesn't qualify as quite reflective so even finding the correct side of the road was a challenge. We stopped along the way for a stop Joe could not refuse. BBQ out of a cut out window of an orange camper on the side of the highway is not something Joe ...

So, today we spent the day in Bar Harbor. We did some shopping on the strip and took a ride on the Margaret Todd. Nice boat ride but made me a bit queasy. Everything in this town is insanely expensive (except for the sweatshirts 2 for 30 at some of the tourist spots). I swear they catch ya coming and going! We had one last lobster dinner on our way out of town and started our way across Maine to visit friends. Landing for the night in Waterville, ME.

Chapter Three Sylvy and the Housetop of Splinters Wide legs whirled, wonky and frightfully blurred- The speed of the Devil, thrice booming, it calls- Out to show us his stuff, but oh how divine! Can you cast off your shadow? Can you reel in your line? Can you perch on top bravely- a long legged feline? Can you master your ...

... had Swallowed her, as the World had swallowed My brother just last year. And vanishing into the black Into dark corners that led toward some unknown Corner. Some unknown turning or adventure. -Don't bring hopes of freedom or inspirations Of success. The penitent kneel, nearly broken With waiting. Bring instead the wild dreams of Racing down cobbled streets, Holy plaid shirts Straining at my chest, rippling in darkened ...
