Like most of the northeast, Bar Harbor got its share of rain the last 24 hours. Sometimes a mist. Sometimes a down pour. Sometimes a persistent soaking rain. No matter which variety, it was not ideal for enjoying the beauty of a National Park. We used up one rain activity last night by visiting the Reel Pizza Movie Theater to see Belle. The pizza was fine. The movie was much better.
Today many group members worked on yet another jig saw puzzle. This one is called the Bridges of Acadia and it looks challenging. Lots of the pieces are dark. No matter what the puzzle must be finished Friday night because Saturday morning we have to leave.
There was also a visit to some very large antique place. I heard the figure 21,000 square feet used and then my eyes glazed over. I preferred to wash bed linens. Matthew came into contact with poison ivy. So far it is only his forearm. The washing helps reduce the possibility of spreading it to other limbs.
This evening I drove out to Abel's Lobster, about 20 minutes from where we are staying. It's a huge operation. They built a restaurant at some point in their business plan, but it started as a wholesale lobster supplier and lots of activity still supports that part of the enterprise. They had at least a half dozen boats. I brought back the lobsters, cooked and ready to eat for four of us. We also made corn on the cob, because what's a lobster bake without corn?
The weather forecast is much improved over the next 10 hours. By 10 AM tomorrow, the skies should begin clearing and some sunshine is in the forecast by the afternoon. Pictures will resume accordingly.
