The day began early with a tender taking us to Bar Harbor. The day was absolutely beautiful. I had booked tickets online for Ollie's Trolley in Bar Harbor. This tour took us past many of the beautiful homes and historic district of Bar Harbor and out to Acadia National Park. The scenery in the park was absolutely break taking! A few hours in that park certainly did not do it justice and my intentions are to return again someday. The view from Cadillac Mountain was awesome! The granite has a pink hue attributed to the molten magma that intruded into older, overlying rock. As it cooled, it hardened and crystallized. It is peppered with flecks of black hornblende and glistens with quartz crystal. The pink feldspar gives the granite it's pick hue. After returning to the village of Bar Harbor we found a nice grassy area and rested there with a piece of Wild Maine Blueberry Pie. It was absolutely delicious! Mom and I then decided that we would let the men take off in their own direction and do a little shopping. Since it was the end of tourist season there were some great buys
and I came back with a pair of Merrell walking shoes. The perfect ending to a perfect day was the Blueberry Ice Cream that Mom and I shared after our shopping expedition. :)
