Fun seeing the pictures and being able to name all the little towns along the way and even know some of the lobster places. There is an observation tower up in the top of the new bridge but we haven't been up yet. Bar Harbor is such a tourist trap downtown I'm glad you are gettin gto see some of the good Maine coasatal towns that are as they have been for years.

We often have tourist destinations suggested as "must visits" from well meaning people... the places are often tee shirt shops and outlet stores... people milling about aimlessly on the streets.

There is a sameness to many of the towns... old, dingy, worn out... for us to stop and linger there has to be something unique to us... maybe old, crispy clean, well maintained.

We look for the real attractions to the areas... they are often away from the commercial areas.

Sometimes we get pleasent surprises.... they keep us traveling and looking.
