This past Saturday, on a beautiful late September morning
, my mother and I made the trip up to the third largest island on the east coast, the majestic isle of Mount Desert. This time of year Downeast, the tourists have thinned out, along with the leaves, but the beauty of the island remains. The quiet and refined main street of Northeast Harbor that looks over one of the most beautiful stretches of salt water in the world. The sleepy and reclusive hamlet of Seal Harbor and the granduer of Jordan Pond. The sheer brilliance of Acadia National Park and its surrouding carriage roads, forests and lakes. The stunning sight of Somes Sound on a sunny day. All are reasons why many have called Mount Desert, "The Most Beautiful Island in the World." On the first weekend of fall, with a warm breeze blowing off Frenchman Bay, it is mighty hard to argue with that partiuclar sentiment!
