We made it to Maine! I am in awe of the beauty of this state and I have barely even scratched the surface. Today we ate lobster and walked around the shipyard in Belfast before driving to Bar Harbor to stay for the night. In another life I like to think I would be a sailor, but unfortunately I know nothing about boats except they look like a lot of fun (and a lot of work!). After checking into the motel we had a little time to kill so we ventured out to the coast near Acadia National Park as the sun was setting. People aren’t joking when they talk about how big and prevalant the mosquitos are here! We left our packs with bug spray in the room, so I expected to be covered in swollen bites, but somehow I barely itch at all. Maybe the Alabama mosquitos have prepared my immune system, or maybe tomorrow I’ll be eating my words. We shall see!
2 days till Katahdin!
