October 9th - Day 23

Atlantic Brewing Company in Town Hill. I tried 'Leaf Peeper' ale and Doug tried 'Coal Porter' beer with chocolate malt. Then "Mainely Meat" for lunch where we shared a sampler platter of sausage, pulled pork, chicken and ribs with sides of beans, coleslaw and potato salad. How they ever expected one person to eat all that is beyond me!
Headed to Bar Harbor on Island Explorer shuttle bus. Walked the 'shore path' from Main Street to Waylan Street.
Stopped at a market and got a 'whoopie pie' (voted best chocolate whoopie pie in Bar Harbor!) which was new to us. It is made with two chocolate cakes wedging a marshmallow fluff and icing mix in the middle. It was alright but I doubt we ever have it again.Went to Bar Harbor Brewing Company and did a tasting of all their microbrews: Lighthouse ale, Thunder Hole ale, Cadillac Mountain stout, and True Blue blueberry wheat ale. Must be the day for beer!

Of course, we then went to the "Irish Pub" for a Bar Harbor Real ale. Talked to some folks from Minnesota for a while. Took bus back to the RV Resort and talked to 3 ladies on a caravan with Special Military Active Retired Travel (S.M.A.R.T) club on a 33 day trip.

Walked Buster. Finally ran out of photo space on my first 2 gig card - 1800 photos taken so far. Ouch!
