May 28th - Day 1, The Park and The Cookout

Today was to be spent moving around the park and having a cookout outside our cottage at night... Yummy!

Here's a shot of Ting and I in the cottage... there's a kitchenette behind us where we could cook breakfast...


Ting, Yi and Ying at the door.. pretty cute decor..

I won't be putting too much words into this entry.. just posting photos and photos.. shan't spoil the beauty... so enjoy!

View of one of the islands around Acadia National Park


My foot. No, it doesn't stink.. just happenend that my shoe was wet.. stepped into water.. had to dry it...


Foggy Highlands. A falcon was supposed to be somewhere on that cliff.. they closed it because falcons are territorial and if we try to climb the cliff we might get attacked...


Sand Beach... Cold


Postcard worthy picture of Zhang Yi and I


Wow... only pity was that the sky was overcast


Me at Jordan Pond, the clearest, cleanest pond on the east coast (apparently)


I like this shot that I took of ting...


Our car.. a Chevvy Malibu


Is the water really that clean and clear? I didn't dare taste it tho, don't want organisms running through my tummy :P


I like this shot that I took of ting again...


Cadillac Mountain.. the highest point on the atlantic coast.


Nice view behind us.. yes I was cold


Lunch was Maine Lobster Stew that costed a bomb ( we at a restaurant apparently) but then we still didn't get enough of lobsters and got lobster ice cream!


Lobster Ice Cream at this place called Ben and Bills.. haha


We then scuttled back for our cook out.. Nice grill! Just that there were a lot of mosquitoes and I could have died.. knowing my adversion to mozzies. Hehe we forgot to bring lighter fluid and it was the guy standing at the back behind ting in the foto who lent us his... Nice guy!


Look at our food!


Dinner was great as we drank our wine and beer and chatted into the night.. as we were tired from our over night haul.. we decided to rest early for the light house, lobster lunch, brewerys and bars tomorrow!

May 27th - Day 0, The Overnighter

Ying and I were off work at 2 pm and so we went on to do some logistics related stuff. Zhang Yi (ying's neighbor) came by at 5 pm but then ting was still not available. She was still tied down with work. Yi, Ying and I then went on for dinner at the Mall. Finally at 7 pm, Ting came by and she joined us on the ride. Yesh.. the gruelling 12 hour overnighter...

That's Ting looking all tired out...


That's me trying to look cute... we decided that we were going to take the graveyard shift and we sat at the back...


A shot of the mess that we had in the car... And that's like only 1/4 of it..


Both of us again


That's zhang yi taking the first leg... She's quite chio :P


Sister Ying!


We took a route that drove passed New Jersey Princeton... yup that's Princeton University behind the police car.. Ok I admit.. I didn't do too great a job taking a photo of princeton
Anyway we travelled on from 7pm all the way till 4 am (I took the last leg and was having a ball of my time playing with the cruise function) and we reached this place called Free Port.. it has the legendary L.L. Bean that is open 24 hours a day.. 7 days a week.. and so we decided to do a "been there, done that" thingy and went to check out the place...



Nice chairs at LL Bean... Zhang Yi decided to stay in the car to rest... we then moved on and reached our cottage at 7.45am... literally waking up the cottage owners :P But it's ok.. they said that they are open 24 hours a day and they were really nice people... Check out the next blog posting!
