maine, part 3

On Wednesday morning we woke up in a quaint bed and breakfast in Eastport, ME. It's just about as north as you can get on the Maine coast. After a ridiculously delicious breakfast, we drove around Cobscook Bay and over a big bridge to Campobello Island. . .which is in Canada! It was Curt's first visit and he was stoked to say the least. We started with a quick tour of the Roosevelt summer "cottage" and then drove to the northern tip of the island to see the East Quoddy Lighthouse. In case you're not familiar, the water levels in the Bay of Fundy can vary up to 60 ft between high tide and low tide. Pretty crazy. Because it was low tide we were able to scramble up and down multiple ladders to get out to the lighthouse. A few hours later and the paths would be covered in 20-30 ft of water. Once again, crazy. It was wicked windy, but the views were stunning. . .and we were in Canada! A few shots of the pretty.

That afternoon we drove down the coast to Acadia National Park. Wouldn't ya know a cold front was blowing in from the north?? It was unbelievably windy and the expected low was 30 degrees, but these snugglebirds roughed it out and camped in Acadia anyway. Perhaps not our best decision. Susan Ada pretty much hacked her lungs out all night and was begging for a doctor by Thursday morning. So on the morning of Susan Ada's 30th birthday sweet Curt put her in the car, packed up camp all by himself, drove to the nearest doctor, and begged them to examine her. Thankfully, they obliged. She walked right in and was diagnosed with an ear infection and general yuckiness. Z-pack in hand she was out the door with hopes of improving quickly. We spent a little time in Bar Harbor looking in the shops and ate a yummy breakfast. Then we returned to Acadia to drive the Park Loop Road. It was gorgeous!! That wind had blown all the clouds away, the sun was shining, water sparkling, and the crowds weren't so bad. Here's some of our favorite shots:
