Today started with a Sunday Mass here in Bangor, Maine. It was a very modern church and they had a fabulous organist and soloist. Father was from India so his English was a bit hard to understand, expecially during his sermon.
After Mass we went to Bar Harbor to revisit the areas we had seen 20 years ago on a short vacation covering Maine, PEI and Nova Scotia. We certainly found out that the town has changed since our last visit.
Our memory had the scenes of beautiful quiet harbor and town. Well, it was not that way today. I believe everyone was trying to get a special weekend at the same time. Everything was very crowded and the shopping had changed to a typical tourist type shops instead of speciality shops. Walt and I both agreed that it was not like our memory of the town.
When we went on the drive thru Acadia National Park the memories were more positive except there was much more traffic. The cars mixed with hikers and bicycles was not a good mixture. We did get some beautiful pictures and I hope to possibly get a picture downloaded .
Tomorrow we will be moving to St. John, New Brunswick, and our Mifi card will not be used for the internet. When we went to Verizon and asked about an international coverage for the internet we found it would be very expensive so we will see what we can find by some other means. We did get an international phone plan for a monthly fee so you can get in touch with us as you always have in the past.
See you soon. Marge
