Sightseeing in New England

We spend a few hours in Bar Harbor.  It's on the same island as Acadia National Park.  

In the park is a lighthouse that is still being used.  The view from here in photos don't do it justice.

We travelled to Booth Bay the next day.  It is a tiny little town that has tons of Gift shops. We spent 3 days here just wondering.

That is a huge house out on that spit.

Our next stop was Kennebunkport, where we looked for Walker's Point.  George H.W. Bush lives out on the beautiful point.  Live is hard.  I can see why he was ready to get here after he lost Barbara.

This sailboat is a floating café.

The town sign is quite quaint.  I really like it here better than the other little town in New England. We couldn't find a parking spot on Sunday, so we just drove around the area.  We went back on Monday and got a spot, but one hour later people couldn't find many empty places.  We ate a lot of seafood while we were in Maine.  The only thing is lobster is getting expensive here.  What is this world coming to???

We are here in Massachusetts at Old Sturbridge Village. There are costumed people all over the town.  It is suppose to be 1830's or so. These ladies are dying yarn like back in the day.

Livestock  Look at the horns.  We saw sheep and chickens roaming free.  The chickens not the sheep.

Here is a printer doing demo.  There tons of 5th graders in the park today and they were having a ball.  They were asking some pretty good questions.

The sound from this gunshot is very loud and made me jump every time he shot his gun.  It was at least ten times.

This guy makes shoes.  Someone told us that a pair of these shoes would cost $1.00 back then.

The potter

And the blacksmith

We spend all day here.  It was really interesting talking to actors here.  I took tons of pictures, but I am only sending a few.  I don't want to bore anyone.  

We leave in the morning and will head toward Michigan.  We should be there by the 23.  We plan on not doing too much between here and there so we'll be fresh when our tour starts.  

I guess that is all for tonight.  More later.
