So it has been a couple days... but with good reason. Friday I learned how the ferry works, and not necessarily on my own terms. Due to my procrastination on Thursday morning I did not get a reserved number, so I was on standby. I had to go down to the terminal for every ferry waiting, hoping to get on so I could get to Bar Harbor for the big dinner. Finally, at 1, I was able to get the car on the ferry and with every last drop of gas in the tank I was able to start the car after the ride and get it to a gas station.
The dinner at Asticou Inn was great! All the fellows were invited to the Board of Trustees annual dinner and what a pleasure it was to meet them. Many introductions were made and stories told throughout the night and I look forward to working with, or at least seeing everyone again.
Saturday morning, we (the fellows) got breakfast together and headed back to our respective islands/working communities. Saturday evening, while the sun was shining and warm, I thought it would be as good a day as any to head out for a nice sunset walk/photo op. I went to Lane's Island Preserve, it's soooo nice that it is so close to the appartment!, and what a good hike it was. As I walked along the shoreline, I began to notice the driftwood, not as just something that was awashed to shore, but as art.... and I will continue this another day. I got to catch the ferry. 'Til next time
