When you ask people if they have ever been to Maine they always respond with "Yes, we went to Bar Harbor", like THAT is Maine. Well, we have been to Maine because we finally went to Bar Harbor! It is beautiful though. This is Bar Harbor and the Atlantic. Pretty views, lots of tourists abound. We hope to go back in July or Aug and take a whale watching tour, then we can say we have watched whales from both coasts.Downtown Bar Harbor is filled with plenty of the usual stuff, tourist shops and motels, hotels & plenty of restaurants.
Of course the big thing here is "lobstah". We had lunch in the restaurant by the white van in this pictures. Being a weirdo and not eating fish or shellfish, I had a cup of ginger carrot soup & quiche. Dwayn had Atlantic salmon. Food was really good.

It is beautiful with the coastal views and greenery. Rockefeller was of great help in funding the carriage road that meand 
er throughout the park. No motorized vehicles, but there are tours by horse & carriage or it can be biked or hiked. I think that people who hike get the most out of this park. This is going
under one of the carriage roads.
The ocean views are really pretty and there are pull off places as you travel along but not nearly enough of them. Below is one of the views.
