(Itinerary from Royal Princess)

Bar Harbor
|
Standing atop Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, it is easy to see why individuals like John D.
Rockefeller felt so strongly about preserving this area's natural beauty.
Established by individual donations, Acadia National Park is a stunning intersection of sea-scoured shores,
towering cliffs, and forested mountains. Mount Desert Island had been a resort destination well before
the establishment of Acadia National Park in 1919. The wealthy flocked to Bar Harbor at the turn of the century,
building Newport-style "cottages" that turned the quaint New England town into a fashionable summer resort.
It was the efforts of these wealthy vacationers, including John D. Rockefeller,
which led President Woodrow Wilson to establish Acadia as the first national park east of the Mississippi.
Many of Bar Harbor's great houses are a memory. A catastrophic fire in 1947 ravaged the town
and the surrounding forest. But Acadia National Park survived, and today it is one of the most visited
national parks in America. Acadia's 35,000 acres are studded with natural wonders:
In addition to the stunning landscape, some 50 species of mammals including moose,
black bear and white tail deer roam the park.

我們的領隊，張其真在我們來之前已經網路上預訂好包車帶我們去 Acadia National Park 玩，
因為訂的是小座車，只能坐六個人，所以我們共有十二個人要去此地玩，需要六個人早上去，另六個人下午去，
我是分配到早上去玩，
我們一下船就被導遊帶上專車，
導遊說，我們很幸運，昨天下雨遊玩不便，今晨又是大霧籠罩山頭，看不見東西，
我們來的此時正好霧散雨消，又可以欣賞到薄薄的霧海景色，
老天總是眷顧著來自千哩外的遊客，
Acadia National Park 風景不錯，導遊沿路講解，我照了很多相片，
有一個爬岩山的地方，導遊說需要三個半小時才能爬玩全程，有機會我很想來此一試，
