About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Bar Harbor

We have been to Bah Hahbah in late May, a great time to go, when almost everything is open and there are very few visitors. We have stayed at the Bar Harbor Motel, Emery's Cottages, and the Atlantic Eyrie Lodge. These are very different places, all recommended, with excellent pre-season prices. The main reason we come is to hike the Acadia trails, of which there are many. Our favorite is Dorr Mountain, but we have done lots of others, and a good guide book or web search will steer you right. Our favorite place to eat is Poor Boy's Gourmet, a funky spot where we have tried lots of dishes without disappointment. Since we think we can dine well close to home or in Portland, food is not high on our list in Bah Hahbah. Great breakfast, though, at Cafe This Way, and Subway opens early enough to make sandwiches to take on the trail.
