July 27, 2008

For breakfast Aimee made us blueberry pancakes with the wild berries we picked yesterday. They were delicious topped with pure maple syrup from Quebec. The pancakes must have made us lazy for we spent the rest of the day around the RV. After reading the Sunday paper, Aimee did laundry and I tried fixing the electric step with a voltmeter I borrowed from our neighbor. Fortunately the neighbor is also a retired engineer and between the two of us we found the problem to be a poor ground connection. He said that is a common problem with 12-volt battery systems. I will have to remember that.

After spending most of the afternoon talking to him we took a ride into Acadia to walk along the shoreline. It is finally sunny and fog-free. We can see the blue ocean and the offshore islands. The park is beautiful after all! Unfortunately it doesn’t last. After about twenty minutes, the fog starts rolling in again. We stop in Bar Harbor again on the way back.
