Maine, Day 4

We had planned to spend the entire day in Acadia but as we had been so impressed with the beauty and ambience in the smaller coastal towns, we decided to divert into another small village we'd read about called Castine.  I didn't get many shots but it was a really special place, so much history around every corner.  It's also home to the Marine Maritime Academy and there were young sailors in uniform throughout the town.

We got such a kick out of our GPS on this trip.  We had plugged in Bar Harbor as our next destination.  The GPS took us right into Bar Harbor, right through Bar Harbor, right out of Bar Harbor, had us turn on a dead-end road and brought us to a stop next to a barren field by saying, "Arriving in Bar Harbor, on right".  We just had to laugh.  We turned around and drove back into Bar Harbor but only stayed long enough for a few pictures as there was a cruise ship off the coast and the town was quite busy.



From Bar Harbor, we drove into Acadia National Park and spent the rest of the morning being blown away by the beauty of the area.
