Our Busy Second Day in Maine

Sunset Cruise View

Today, Libby, Mallory and I woke up a lot quicker than we did the first day and were perfectly on time to the van for our first stop of the day, Bass Harbor Lighthouse. The weather was a little cooler than it has been and the breeze near the water didn’t make it any better, but the view on the rocks was totally worth it. After we made it up towards the lighthouse, Mallory decided to eat her cereal on the rocks, which ended up being very aesthetically pleasing with the background of the tree lines and the water. Our next stop of the day was Seawall, where we walked through even more rocks in order to get some great footage of waves crashing along the shore at low tide. Since it was a super busy day, we weren’t at Seawall for long and headed to Eagle Lake about forty minutes later. We walked along some carriage roads and found some beautiful, scenic views to film and appreciate. The next part of our day started off with lunch and then interviews with some workers at Acadia National Park, before heading to Bar Harbor to the Friends of Acadia office for more interviews. Following the all of the meetings, Mallory, Libby, Kate, Maci and I walked through the town and got dinner at Downeast Deli. The highlight of the day, however, was the sunset cruise with Acadian Boat Tours. Once we had lined up to get onto the boat, we all were able to see a moose through Kira’s binoculars. We ended our day learning about the history of a bunch of different islands and also getting to see a bald eagle and seals resting along one of the shorelines.
