I'm home on fall break for today and tomorrow. I rode 2h15 this morning (Southwest Harbor to Bar Harbor and back) and have been doing offseason work for my summer camp all day. These are pictures from the day, some from the ride and some from "around town" that I thought you all might enjoy.

Fall break has been a lot of this (catnapping with the cat when I'm supposed to be writing my thesis):


I'll try to get some more from tomorrow's adventures - planning on a carriage trail run and a Loop Road ride. But I'm not really into the whole "stop and take pictures" thing when I'm trying to work out. And there is way to much island to get in two days ;-)

A stretch of island road:


This is also from the road and it's overlooking Somes Sound, the only natural fjord in North America.


Tree color:

Another stretch of road (Duck Brook Road)


Duck Brook Bridge - this leads to a carriage trail


Duck Brook itself


A carriage trail:


Four masted schooner in the harbor:


This is a flavor list from a local ice cream shop (MDI Ice Cream). I took this especially for Rappstar because they have "candied bacon" ice cream. Unlike the Lobster Ice Cream, which is a complete tourist trap from another ice cream place down the street, my suspicion is this stuff, if you like bacon, is probably good:



But it looks gross:

In all fairness, the picture came out yellow but it's white ice cream.

More tomorrow :-)
