Got up early to watch the sunrise from the island's highest mountain... THE thing to do here. Hiked a bit in the Acadia Forest and then hit the road. We followed Highway 1, instead of the interstate, going through cute Maine towns. Our "1000Places to Go" book mentioned a lobster place in one of the towns. Supposedly they have the best lobster rolls in the world. We stopped there, but the line was about 2 hours long. So, we went to a cute local place in the same town, and had great local-fresh fish quesadilla. Planned to stay in Portland as it is famous for its beers, but didn't see a good place to stop. Staying at a beach-side campsite outside of Portland. Bought a lobster and clams to cook over the fire and some local beer.
We are trying to eat local foods, but are passing on a few things. Here in Maine, the whoopie pie was invented and is everywhere. It is like 2pieces of cake made into a sandwich itch marshmallow cream inside. No thanks. Another food we skipped in Canada is a donnaire. It is kind of like a gyro, but then has a sweet, honey sauce that didn't sound good.
After our lobster dinner tonight, we have had our fill for awhile.
You have to at least TRY everything once
