Maine Week Travelog #5
Bar Harbor - Tuesday, 15 Jun 2021, 4pm.
"We're staying in Bah Habbah," I said early and often to Hawk after we booked this trip to Maine. "That's how the locals pronounce it," I explained after she rolled her eyes. Then today we saw this little number in several places downtown when we went out for lunch:

It's on t-shirts (the pic above is a t-shirt), it's on signs around town.
We had time to wander around town today because the weather has been too crummy to want to hike, or even sightsee from the car, in Acadia National Park. There was fog in all morning. After lunch it started to rain. We didn't let that stop us from being outdoors; we still wandered around town with our rain jackets on. We even stopped for ice cream after lunch because crummy cool and rainy weather or not, this is supposed to be our summer vacation. 😅🍦😋
We're back at our hotel now waiting out the weather to see if it improves late in the day. The rain stopped a bit ago so we went out for a soak in the hot tub. Now the fog is lifting— leaving the sky merely cloudy— so we might try going out for a short hike in the park in a bit.
