Breaking Out

We went to Southwest Harbor for two nights, staying at the HarborView Motel and Cottages in Cottage 6, which was excellent. On our arrival on Tuesday, we walked the Wonderland Trail, which was pretty and easy. The next day, however, was not easy: we hiked up the St. Sauveur Trail, and then on to Valley Peak. We saw almost no one. The hike took us 3 1/2 hours, more than it took 30 years ago when first we did it. But we DID do it. Then as a topper in the afternoon we walked to the shore on the Ship Harbor Trail, which was spectacularly gorgeous. Now it is again Saturday, and thanks to a tip from Molly, I found oysters from Emily's Oysters at the Bath Farmer's Market. Since Marnie was enjoying a solstice yoga at Popham, I had to choke down all of the oysters myself. Life is hard.
