During our last visit to Bar Harbor, we had picked up a Blueberry Scone mix that we baked up a couple of days ago. They were delicious! So, David wanted a couple more of the mixes to make in the future. Leslie had also seen a Cool as a Moose tee shirt she wanted to get. Since it was lunch time, we started out with lunch at the Cherrystone Bar and grill. Downtown was very busy with at least two cruise ships in the harbor bringing tourists. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch while people watching. Then we walked Mainstreet and found the items we were wanting to pick up. It was a warm afternoon but there was a nice cool breeze blowing up from the harbor, so we stopped at a pub with a shady spot on the sidewalk for refreshments and to people watch. We had parked the truck down the hill from Main Street by a park. When we went back to the park, we decided to explore the park which ran along the shoreline. We discovered the Balanced Rock on the beach (we honestly had not heard of it before). The large boulder is balanced on top some smaller rocks and leaning against a slab of granite. What makes this boulder special is that it is from over 40 miles away and was picked up and carried to this spot over 10,000 years ago during the last ice age! It was a great way to end our visit of Bar Harbor.
