We like to travel before the school year ends and the summer
rush. Even though this is the “quiet”
time of year relatively speaking, Bar Harbor on Saturday morning was
bustling. We could only imagine the
crowds on a warm summer night, or whenever the cruise ships from points south
dock, spilling out tourists from around the globe.
We had to make our way through a crowd just to get this
picture – the lobster is apparently quite the draw for photo ops.

What struck us about some of the tourists was how the sophisticated, multi-lens cameras that they used to lug around have been replaced by cell phones.
After an hour or two of touring Bar Harbor, we headed for
the quiet side of Mount Desert Island, and drove along the perimeter on routes
3, 198, and 102. These pictures are from the town of Bass Harbor.
