We arrived home from our journey to West Quoddy Head and Campobello on Wednesday evening. Papa Bear and I went to one of our favorite Island restaurants for dinner - The Seafood Ketch in Bass Harbor. The food was fabulous. I have the feeling (a feeling, not a fact) that the recent economic times have hit restaurants and other businesses on the Island quite hard. Some are offering what they used to offer but at a reduced quality. Others are offering a smaller selection, at an increased cost. I imagine it must be difficult to be a tourist destination in a time when tourism is down, though we are told that this summer on the Island has been good. Thursday was catch-up day for the work we missed while away. Friday we did our grocery shopping. Saturday Mama Bear ran for about 5 miles.
Today, Sunday, we went to see the waves at Thunder Hole. One of the hurricanes is off-shore so the waves are up a bit. The picture at the beginning of the blog is of the rocks we were observing prior to them being inundated with waves. I am also attaching a video of the waves. Enjoy! Also know that the sound is missing from the end of the video: I am still trying to learn how to edit videos.
We are coming to realize that summer is drawing to a close - next weekend our beloved Baby Bear and beloved Boo Boo will visit us for Labor Day weekend. It scarely seems possible that we have only a couple more months here, but it is true. The cove, it is lovely at the moment. The tide is going out, The Cat is on the porch sunning herself, we have been reading after our visit to Thunderhole. It is suppose to stay warm with low humidity here for the beginning of the week.
