Bar Harbor, Boston, then Home

On Friday, we cruised into Bar Harbor, Maine.  Bar Harbor was a favorite summer home 
of many of America's wealthiest families at the turn of the 20th century.  We spent some time at 
St. Saviour's Church, with it's Tiffany stained glass windows. 
The village of Bar Harbor is well maintained, but has more trinket shops than real shops.  Papa and I had fresh lobster rolls at a local restaurant for lunch.   There are thousands of lobster traps sitting in the water, with fishermen checking them regularly.  Bar Harbor was colorful with fall leaves.
We cruised all night and arrived in Boston on Saturday morning, disembarked the ship, and went to the airport.  We had a long day of travel, and arrived back in Tucson by 7 p.m.  We had a wonderful three week trip to Alaska, Banff and Lake Louise, and the St. Lawrence River cruise from Montreal.
