We left Canada, driving into Maine for the last leg of our journey. We spent the night in Bangor. We thought we'd hit a couple of sights on our way through, but there's only so much you can do in less than a day! We drove to Acadia National Park. It really is a beautiful area. We drove part of the scenic road and made the drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain. That would have been great, except that day it was fogged in so the view was pretty much nonexistent!

Down low, Maine was very pretty, with signs of fall color showing in the trees.
We moved on, making a short stop at the L.L. Bean store. It is a huge complex, dominating the town. After this we stopped in Portland for dinner. In August there was an article in the Jackson Citizen Patriot travel section about a place called Duck Fat. They raved about the Belgian style French fries, cooked in duck fat, so we decided to check it out. Let's just say it did not disappoint!!
We came home through New York, crossing into Canada at Niagara Falls. We spent the night near Niagara on the Lake, had a great dinner at the Angel Inn in N-O-T-L, and drove the last leg home the next morning.
Three weeks, five Canadian provinces, five states, and almost 5,000 miles later, we're back home, ready to jump into the car again. This time though, we're looking forward to going to soccer games, football games, dance or whatever the kids are up to. Thanks for coming along on our trip!
