Maine Day 1: Dinner - Cafe Dry Dock & Inn

After hiking Precipice Trail, apparently the most "well-known" and "most challenging" hiking trail in Acadia National Park, we were exhausted. I was absolutely not mentally prepared to scale a 1,000 foot vertical climb "recommended for physically fit and experienced hikers who have no fear of heights." Let's just say at some point, I was really tired, didn't think I could make climb up any more rocks, but was too scared of looking down to go anywhere else but up. But it was quite an accomplishment. See the picture below to see how high up we went, and how far down had to come again.

And so our reward? Lobsters!!

We checked into our B&B, in the super-cute small town of Southwest Harbor, and ventured to dinner a whole two doors down. We had dinner at Cafe Dry Dock, a small & simple casual restaurant serving fresh seafood. I was famished, and we quickly got down to business. Mussels to share (smothered w/ garlic and carrots, and I think some cream and white wine) went fast, and lobsters for each of us. Simple and delicious.

The only bizarre moment was when the waitress told us that Stella Artois was a local Bar Harbor beer. Huh?



Here is Stan making kissy face with his lobster.


Here is the mountain we climbed. Serious.
