Maine

We just got back from a fantastic trip to the US visiting my big brother and sharing in two our very good friends promise to share their lives together.
We headed up to Maine from Boston with a lunch stop off in Freeport, then on to Arcadia National Park & Bar Harbour.
What a fantastic week we had exploring bays, eating fresh seafood and relishing the absolute unspoilt natural beauty of this area. It didn't disappoint as to why we (brother & I) wanted to return with our signifcant others to show then why we fell in love with Maine in 2008. Slow down get a beer and basket of crab claws and enjoy the view, whilst trying to keep a 4 year old entertained!
A few of highlights from our trip...

:: Day After Thanksgiving Sandwiches from the Downeast Deli in Bar Harbour
:: Fish Cakes and Fresh Crab Claws.
:: Waiting for lowtide so we could walk across to Bar Island
:: Getting soaked from head to toe and using my niece as protection at Thunder Hole

...there's so much more to see and do, we will definitely be going back...there's the whole world of junk shops to explore yet...
