Tonight - Lobster!

Searching for sea glass

Today we drove to the our prime sea glass beach.  We did have success, but didn't find as much as we'd hoped.  Either our memory of last year's haul has inflated with time, or there is actually less to find this year.  No matter, Charlie especially found some pretty pieces to add to the collection.



Flowers on porch railing

Since we went to the coast before having breakfast, by 11:15 we were hungry!  Surely we'd passed many breakfast joints in the past couple of days.  We'll just stop into one of those.  Hmmm, now where exactly are those little restaurants?  So we drove into Bar Harbor where we knew there was a place called Jeannie's Great Maine Breakfast.  It's located on Cottage Street directly across from yesterday's lunch restaurant called Epi Pizza.  That name really doesn't do it justice.  Anyway, our breakfast was really good.  I had an omelet  with Jack cheese and spinach, accompanied by homemade toasted bread.  So, two of the things I like about the Bar Harbor area is the homemade breads and rolls that are served in the restaurants and all the flower boxes that adorn the businesses, the houses, the fences, the bridge railings ... you get the idea.  Very nice to see.  Why don't we do that in Maryland so much?



The lobster pound

A long nap, clean laundry, and we're ready to go to a local lobster pound for dinner.  Curious about what a lobster pound is?  Check this out:  http://ouracadia.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/what-is-a-lobster-pound-why-have-i-only-heard-this-term-around-acadia-national-park/

My first time ever eating a whole lobster was fun and delicious!
