We stopped at a lighthouse on our way up the coast! Breathtaking.
Our first full day there we drove to Acadia National Park to enjoy the scenery and fall foliage. The sky was overcast, so I think, perhaps, we missed some of the breath-taking views. But to us, we loved how the rain made the leaves reflect. We enjoyed a stop at the beach, a walk along the carriage trails, and browsing in the gift shop. It is one of the top places on our list to return to sometime in the future!
While on our way to Acadia, I received a message from a friend who we were trying to coordinate a visit with a few days later and about four hours south, saying that she was in Acadia at that time. Um wow. She had no idea we were there! We spontaneously met for lunch an hour or so later!! What a blessing to see her--and save us driving time on our way to Vermont. ;)
The next day we had the opportunity to help our hostess with various tasks at church as well as participate in a luncheon that their church hosts to minister to people in the community. We also helped sort clothes for the local Lion's Club to help clean up before the Christmas trees arrived! What a wonderful day we spent ministering to a variety of people.
Our hosts were an incredible older couple who showed us such love, grace, and hospitality. We miss them, even now! They provided us with delicious meals as well as taking us out to a night of Chinese food. Our time together was treasured. <3
Maine, we shall be back!!!
(Oh! And this is the first place we encountered frost on the windshield!)
