Friday was a quiet day for us. We watched the Tour de France. I still haven't figured out the head butting that happened earlier this week: how bizarre!
Mr. Obama and his family arrived mid-day (according to the news) and then went for a bike ride (he had not changed his clothes from what he was wearing when he left Washington, D.C.!) and then went up Cadillac Mountain (you can drive up there) to see the views from the top (they are lovely). They also went to Bar Harbor, may have take a ride on a boat, had some ice cream, and went to a lobster pound for dinner (Stewman's, Mr. and Mrs. Obama had lobster, the girls had shrimp, the waiter reports he is a decent tipper). Today they played tennis (at the Bar Harbor Club), went swimming, came to Southwest Harbor to have lunch. They may have been able to see the Friendship Sloop Regatta that happened this afternoon just off-shore there. They then visited the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse (they were allowed up on the lighthouse to see the views from there, something the normal public does not get to see.) And then they went for a hike at Ship's Harbor, or so the local press reports. On their way back to Bar Harbor, they passed through Southwest Harbor. We were there, purchasing some fruit, and saw the motorcade as they passed. So, we saw the Presidential Motorcade, if not actually laying eyes on the Presidential Family.
What did we do today? We watched the Tour de France, talked with Baby Bear (it is her birthday!), I did my walk/run, we went for a bike ride, had a fabulous dinner (pizza from Little Notch - I had broccoli, spinach and fresh and roast peppers on mine). We have now settled in for the evening. We have also been reading, taking care of the cat, doing wash, cleaning a bit, etc.
I was going to show you a picture of the fabulous red raspberries we purchased, but we ate them on the way home, so given the option of providing a picture of a green empty container or no picture, I am opting for no picture today.
