...but very little.
There's the sea, the fragrant greenery and the immutable stones...and, of course, the boats...
Nearly every year since their honeymoon, Joanie and Tim return to Acadia. We often tag along.
This year we scheduled two weeks at Seawall Campground in the Park while they rented Aunt Betty's Cottage near the heart of Bar Harbor. They enjoy strolling the dog-friendly streets with Chance.
We love hearing the rush of the surf from our campsite, the low-key gentility of SouthWest Harbor and the morning popovers at the Common Good.
WAIT! Where are the Popovers??
Oh, thank goodness, they have just moved their location a few miles from the ravenous but appreciative Seawall campers to the middle of Southwest Harbor where the view isn't the same but the clientele equally appreciative and surely more numerous. The new location has outdoor seating, great free WIFI and superior popovers coming out of the volunteer-run kitchen every few minutes. Live music is a regular addition and there are always warm conversations with folks from all around.
The charms of the little town are many. Pies baked before your eyes ...
..pretty little shops and a bakery window stacked with fresh bread.
Many things change for the better.
The roads South from Bar Harbor are smoother this year.
But the evil winter season was devastating to the Flamingo population...
Every library on the island has a book sale this month. People around here stock up for the long winter, but they are good about re-donating the books in the Summer.
...kids continue to try to unbalance, Balance Rock...
...or one-up nature...
...the best food in town is at Mama Serpico's...
....where the fun is
non-stop...
...kids find crabs and share their delight...
....young men scale mountains and share the glory...
... Grandmothhers act silly and we all laugh...
...AND WE TAKE THE SAME CHRISTMAS CARD PICTURE AS LAST YEAR.....EXCEPT THE DOG IS GETTING GRAYER...
