Mary woke up the chickens this morning as she had to be at “work” at 7:00 am. I did not walk her to school because I saved my legs for later that afternoon. I puttered around the room and finished off Day 2 of this adventure.
The bus wanted me there at 9:30, so I departed at 9:00 am and walked to Testa’s Restaurant to pick up my tickets. As I mosied to the pickup point, the tide was noticeably higher than last night!
I caught the bus at the end of the street.
The Tesla restaurant was empty, so I decided to get some bacon and eggs, as the bus tour did not include dining. I could keep my eye on the bus so I would not miss it.
Time for bacon and eggs before the ride.
We were off right on time at 10:00 am and headed to Acadia National Forest. The first stop was “The Wild Gardens”. The Wild Gardens of Acadia is located in the Sieur de Monts area of Acadia National Park. The entrance is on Route 3, approximately 2 miles south of Bar Harbor’s Village Green.
