Our Bed and Breakfast was only a short jaunt from downtown Bar Harbor, so we spent a lot of time walking around. While we were walking by a small cemetery, we noticed a statue with a placque on it that said that the town was originally called Eden. We thought that was very appropriate and wondered why they changed it.
We would then walk though a little park in the town square that had a gazebo in which the community band would play every Thursday night. So one night we got ice cream cones and sat on a park bench under the twilight sky and listened to songs that we hadn't heard since we were children.
We did a little shopping, mostly trinkets for the family. There was so much to see and do, we didn't want to miss a thing. We looked at jewelry and pet stores, a whale museum and some cool glass and pottery shops.
I loved these gargoyle creatures on the lamps:
Loved this clock too:
The wouldn't let us in the front door!
We got to eat at some really nice restaurants...Lobsta stew, yum!
One night we treated ourselves to a gourmet dinner at the Bar Harbor Inn
There were chandeliers and a pianist
and the deserts were to die for!
We went for a walk on the beach in front of the hotel.
We walked along the shore path and looked at the "cottages" owned be the Rusticators. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area.
