| Sand Beach |
Today we drove in search of sea glass hunting spots. First, we went to Sand Beach, purportedly a good location for finding those tumbled gems. Wrong. Not a one in sight. But, it is a lovely beach with a nice breeze and pretty views, so much more interesting than my usual view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Not discouraged, we drove into Bar Harbor to check out the sandbar that connects Bar Island with Bar Harbor at low tide. We enjoyed this popular destination for families and kayakers, even though much of any sea glass that may have been here were gone by the time we arrived. Sigh.

After lunch of haddock chowder and a half sandwich on homemade bread, we went in search of a spot that we remembered visiting during our trip here last year. Only problem? We couldn't remember exactly where that spot was! So we toured the Acadia National Park loop road and many of the island's roads along the beach to no avail. Discouraged, we returned to our campsite. Then I thought of using Google Maps earth view to see if maybe we could find the spot by looking along the coast line. Eureka! Found it! After a dinner of salmon and salad, we drove out and found the beach we remembered. Better yet, Charlie found some sea glass while we were there even though it was approaching high tide. So guess where we're going tomorrow morning after coffee?

One note about being away from home for an extended period. I start missing those things that I just can't do on the road. Like going to the awesome monthly sale at Chartreuse & Co with Jenny (check them out at
www.chartreuseandco.com) and going to quilt shops and shows with Susan (love her blog by the way!
www.quixoticcrafter.blogspot.com) And of course there is Ladies Cocktail Hour! All the same, I'm enjoying living in the moment in Maine with my man!
