8-3-11 SOUTHWEST HARBOR, MAINE: We drove down east yesterday, stopping only for a lobster roll and fried clams in Kittery, ME at Bob’s Clam Hut which I consider worth the journey. We arrived at Ken and Carol’s beautiful house here in time for dinner and a refreshing beverage. This morning we hiked with Audrey, Virginia, Caroline and Hazel at a part of Acadia National Park called Ship Harbor. It is a hike through the woods, mostly evergreens covered with mosses with an understory of blueberry and bunchberry and the like, ending at the ocean shore of a red granite pluton dotted with tidal pools. Their two dogs, George and Teddy, were with us also. It’s hard to say whether the beach or the woods is the more beautiful.
After another seafood lunch, we went sailing in light air on Western Way, an arm of the Atlantic between Southwest Harbor and Great Cranberry Island.
The gardens around the house are flourishing, and my only problem was which pix to post. We had a spicy dinner at XYZ, a Mexican restaurant and watering hole in the neighborhood.
Hikers on the beach. Wait a few million years, and this will be soft pink sand.
Gardens, terrace and ocean.
