Acadia National Park
This past weekend, my brother, Chien Ee and I took a trip down to Maine to camp and shop. My first experience at Acadia National Park was great! Beautiful scenery and such diversity in the people that live there, the things to do, and the landscapes around the island... a great place to visit - something for everyone :)
The first picture is of the beach there - beautiful! The waves were a bit intimidating though.. since they crashed right at the shoreline. It was sort of distracting to try to take a picture there as you didn't really want to turn your back and suddenly have a big wave come crashing down on you (ok.. maybe not crashing down on you, but you know what I mean!). The water is actually quite pretty though and had we more time, i would have enjoyed just sitting there for a couple of hours (or maybe sleeping there :P)
The third picture it is taken at the peak of Cadillac Mountain - can't really say that we climbed all the up because you can actually drive up (the hike says it's like 0.3 km, but really, why bother to even say it's a hiking trail??). Anyways, we didn't spend a whole lot of time up there because we were more anxious to see what the areas when the tide was down (you can see these little tidal pools where there are tiny fish, snails, barnacles and anemones.
Other than that, we also went to Freeport to do a bit of shopping. I guess it was the 4th of July sale or something, but there were lots of things on sale. Didn't really see much that I wanted so I only bought a sweater at LL Bean. My brother on the other hand, found a great deal of discounts at Timberland (discounted prices plus an additional 70% off, so he even purchased a winter coat for about $30USD). There were TONS of people there which made it really unpleasant.. lots of people dropping cash as if it were just nothing.. if only!
Anyways, that's it for now!
