Yesterday/Today



















O.K. lets start with yesterday. We went to Fort Knox as well as the Fort Observatory it was really cool and extremely huge. I loved the observatory. It's the fastest elevator in Maine. When you get to the top it feels like you can see everything. The fort had an interesting history. A TON of work went in to making that fort but the kinda depressing thing is that it was never attacked, not that it's a bad thing it's just that a lot of work went in to it for nothing.

Now on to the subject of today... Today we went to Cadillac Mountain. We took a long hike up and down it. It was great! The one thing that really made it great was that through the entire trail there were stone steps put there a long time ago... THANK GOD, even with the steps the trail was very hard! The view at the top was great. There was a beautiful river on the way up and at the very bottom there was a patch of wild blueberries. We ate so many of them, they were delicious.

We also went to Diver Ed. A fun boat ride were a diver dives down into the ocean, gets sea creatures and then educates us about them. He also does ALOT of funny stuff like stick a sea cucumber in his mouth and kiss a crab! it was totally worth it a second time.

Overall my time in Maine has been GREAT.
