i seem to be doing a lot of catching up after a few months of non-stop travel! this summer has been busy, but such a blast. a lot of activity outdoors and and a lot of learning how to eat more fresh veg!
my family went up to bar harbor on mt. desert island in maine for a few days of biking in acadia national park. amazing--one of the most beautiful places i have been to go biking, without a doubt. bar harbor itself was quite the cool town to dink around in. it felt like a mix of lake george village and chatham, ma. i would love to get up there more often, but it is a HIKE from boston.
in addition to biking straight up cadillac mountain, a highlight of the trip was meeting a south shore firefighter on a sunset sail on the margaret todd. he was such a nice guy, and was so much fun to talk to. apparently, firefighters spend a lot of time fighting one of the biggest problems we have in this country, obesity, and spend a lot less time fighting what they originally signed up to fight, fires. we ended up randomly running into him again on a stop during our lonnng drive back. it felt like we had really made a friend. ha ha. life is good.
