I Walk In This World

LOL!  I cannot imagine how the scale will have jumped afta are the big meals I’m eating on this vacay.  It’s been worth it (mostly) for the ginorm B&B Breakfasts we’ve had along the way.

Yesterday (Sunday) we drove from Bar Harbor down to Portland along scenic Route 1 instead of the highways.  It was fantastic b/c there are some fabulous harbor towns to stop in on the way.  Totally cute and arsty with sailboats on the water and fancy Inns on the small roads. 

Before heading out of Bah Haabah, we ate our last lovely Inn Breks. 

I ended up not eating the French toast b/c it wasn’t anything special.  But I did eat the bacon and most of the yogurt + granola.  On the 2nd plate, I ate half the eggs (snuck some to Hillybean), 3/4 of the toast, and 2 of the potatoes.  This was my morning view…

We packed up, said bon jour to the pretty little town, and drove on down the road. 

We stopped in Camden for lunch, which is the prettiest little harbor town.  In fact, it gives Annapolis a run for it’s money, and that Is Saying a Lot cuz Annapolis is my favorite town.

I ate the fresh, local crab and veggie wrap, which was handpicked local crabbies mixed with cucumber, red onion, and bell peppers with fresh lime squeezed in.  It was so clean and fresh tasting!  We walked around a bit and then headed on down the road.

I needed a potty/caffeine break and we stopped at McD’s cuz that’s all we could find.  And look what we found while there.

Um.  A crazy guy was walking around with this bird, like this was Okay to Do.  And he plopped her down here while he ran in for burgers and fries.  She just hung out saying Hello to me over and over.  And I musta talked to her for all 10mins the Crazy Guy was inside.  When he came back out, he gave her a french fry and she LOVED it.  It was pretty cute.  In fact, I chatted with Crazy and he told me he rescued the parrot from a local hotel where she was a lobby attraction (and abused).  So he takes her everywhere now, and it was actually pretty sweet to hear him talk of how much he loved this bird.

(((sweet Crazies)))

We got to Portland around 5pm and did a 2 mile walk along the Harbor Greenway.  We let Hillybean play in the water which was HighLarious b/c she’d never done that, so was really excited and kept dipping in the water then doing sprints up and down the beach (with glee).

Dinner was at Gritty McDuff’s, a local brewerey.

I had their IPA and Hubz did the samples.  And for Din I had the bison burger with grilled onions.  It was Fantastic!!  I ate most of those chips too.  They were homemade which is Very Hard to pass up.

We moved on to Sebago Brewery where I had their IPA (plus another) and got a little buzzed.  Hubz was Def Drunk!  In fact, he awoke at 1am to tell me how much he loves our dog and to make sure my hand was okay (I hurt it pretty bad the other day, then passed back out again.  lmao!

Yah.  I’m accident prone.  I twisted my ankle (bad) hiking on the slippery kelp in the tide pools the other day.  And almost broke my hand on Sunday.  I fell and hit it on the corner of 2 walls.  Broke my  fall on the edge of my hand in fact.  It’s twice the size of my other hand!  Hubz was appropriately concerned once he saw the swelling.  He was worried I broke it!  Fortunately for me (and my sister better not rat me out!), I’ve broken my hand before and know the signs.  It’s def not broken this time around…just swollen and very sore.

Ok kiddies, Erin’s heading back to the Jerz Wednesday.  This has been 1 Fabulous Trip.
