To]day we rode the trolley around Acadia National Park. It is a beautiful park with sand beaches, mountains, water, and evergreen trees. We were glad we took the trolley as the traffic, car, people, and bikes, was terrible. We same some beautiful scenery. We had lunch at Jordan's Pond. It is really a lake. This location is where a woman lived a long time ago and she would make popovers and give them, along with tea, to hikers that passed by her house. Today they have a restaurant there, pictured here, and they still serve popovers. They are like a cream puff shell, only the have more egg in them and are not as firm as cream puffs. They serve them hot with butter and strawberry jam. The are terrific. We then walked down to the pond and on the way we walked through a wild blueberry patch. There were several people picking them. Bill took pictures of the blueberries. There are also so many beautiful flowers around the restaurant. Many I have never seen before. The background for the pond is mountains. It was quite a scene. We then took the trolley back to Bar Harbor and sat and watched the boats for a while. This was very relaxing. We then headed to the grocery, ugh. We then returned to the coach and are fixing our dinner. The weather today was cooler and overcast, but it didn't stop us from having a good time.
