I lived in Maine for a year at the end of 1989, beginning of 1990. When I visited Acadia I found places that seemed like fairy forests...like nothing I had ever seen before. They were amazing. For a long time Acadia was the place I wanted my ashes to be sprinkled. It sounds like it has changed since I have seen it last. There were always houses, but the park felt like a park. That's a shame. Acadia has been on the top of my list of beautiful places in America. I lived in Maine for a year at the end of 1989, beginning of 1990.

Nova Scotia may have Maine beat for coastal beauty, though. We love Maine’s small coastal towns, too, especially the less commercial ones. Nova Scotia may have Maine beat for coastal beauty, though.

Love your narratives!!! I think Siera is the one who should be writing the book!! She is great! I had to comment on Acadia national Park. Was one of our most favorite trips-we started in Boston and drove up Route 101 or it might have been Route 1 all the way to Bar Harbor. We absolutely loved the small towns; Joe and Matt loved that each town EVERY day of the week had a flea market and/or sale; and we could get lobster dinners for $9.99!!! I am trying to talk Sue, Ron and my sister Maggie into doing this trip the fall of 2009. Have a great trip! Enjoy Europe. I am sure you are all going to dance a happy dance to be out of the camper for a couple of months!!!! We applaud your tenacity of this trip and a small RV; Joe and I tried it for 2 weeks and decided we definitely were not going to be RV travelers when we retired! Hope the weather improves as you travel down the coast. That part of the seaboard is one of our favorites. Daria: I am Sue’s W’s sister in Seattle, WA. Love your narratives!!!
