Bangor, Maine-Bar Harbor


In Bangor, Maine we stayed at the Paul Bunyon Campground. They had an abundance of RV's there since they were the only campground open in the area. We had a tough time finding a site that would accommodate us since the owners were not there and it was a"pick your own site" type of arrangement. We finally found one that worked and set up.

Since Bar Harbor was only an hour away, we decided to take a look at this notable part of Maine. We found the port area pretty interesting and saw several cruise ships moored in the harbor. The town was bustling and prople from all walks of life were checking out the sights. Peg and I decided that, while we were in Maine, we need to feast on some lobster. So we walked through the town, checked out the many stores (geared to tourists) and found a nice restaurant called the Parkside. We had a nice view of the park from the second floor porch and proceeded to have a great meal. Honestly, we both felt th lobster in Nova Scotia we had was a little sweeter and less tough than here. It was still a good meal.

If we ever get back this way, we'd like to spend more time here...
