It was very low tide, and it appears the difference from high to low tide here is quite a bit.\u00a0\u00a0 It looked like 10-12 feet or more.\u00a0\u00a0 That seems nuts to me.\u00a0 It’s maybe 4 – 6 feet difference in San Diego, so I am not sure how it could be so much more here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The next morning we headed over to check out Bar Harbor and to get a lobster roll for lunch.\u00a0\u00a0 I popped my head into a local barber shop and asked where to find the best one he knew of.\u00a0 (I was told to ask a local. Who better than the local barber, I say)\u00a0 I … <\/p>\n

<\/a>We walked over and had lunch.\u00a0\u00a0 It was good,\u00a0 I didn’t know it was a lobster salad put on a roll for twenty bucks.\u00a0\u00a0 Now I know.\u00a0\u00a0 Afterward we got the pups out of the car.. (It was cool and rainy when we got there) and after a bit, the rain stopped.\u00a0 There are a lot of chatshky shops in Bar Harbor,\u00a0 and there were a zillion people there on this Friday afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0 One store owner told Kathy it was very unusual to have so many people there.\u00a0 Said it was due to a motorcycle rally or something.\u00a0 Plus there was a Holland America cruise ship in the harbor, so that probably didn’t help when it offloaded another 2,000 people into downtown.<\/p>\n
