Maine Coast trek here, hanging out in Bar Harbor Hostel. We can't wait to relax for a few days and check out the town. We survived rain, wind, and enormous hills to get here, but we're here! Celebrated tonight with pizza, followed by a wild game of Outburst.
Well we're almost done with our trek - just a few days left. We took a video blog in Portland but unsuccessfully attempted to load it. We'll have it up soon.
Some perks of the overall trip: people in lobster suits, the one afternoon of sun, del-sol frisbee, experiments with marshmallows, seafood, Portland Sea Dogs vs. New Britain Rock Cats, fort Knox, the weird Salem witch museum, that day Jason said "it'll burn off" (referring to the morning mist), oh and that day Jason said "this is the last big hill", sparklers on the 4th of July, and of course Hanna's banana pancakes, wiffleball, banana smores, meeting other touring groups!, ultimate frisbee with other travellers, and our, basically, lifetime's worth of peanut butter, nutella, fluff, and, oh, rainy rain rain rain!
Our last trek will be out of here to Bangor, where we'll bus ourselves and our bikes back to Boston. Can't wait to see everyone then!
Good luck to all the other trips!
Shout out to Caroline and Kaila. Hope all is well. We miss you!
****PS:
We ran into a man who's doing a 2 year tour and has already covered over 21,000 miles. Here's his site @ crazyguy: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/sbkrun
He took a picture with us, so maybe it'll end up there.
