Bangor on Sunday

Bangor

This morning we headed up to Bangor for church.  This church family was small but enthusiastic.   We met a couple there that enjoyed walking and they told us of “Bangor Forest”.  This community park had many trails within it.  We chose the outer perimeter trail of 4 miles. Very nice! It gave us the experience of walking through one of Maine’s many forest’s.  The air was like a fall day with a nice breeze blowing throughout most of the walk. 

After the walk Jan wanted to go by Steven King’s home in downtown Bangor.  Knowing what little I do about him, his home fit his books.  The home was an old Victorian home with an iron fence surrounding it.  On the gate were bats, gargoyles and spiders, which was what I would have expected.

On the way back to our “home” we stopped at a dock restaurant for our big meal for the day.  We had passed several really nice looking places but we were intent on going to another.  When we made the turn off the highway, there was a sign, hand painted on cardboard, that it was closed on Sundays.  We went to the dock across the bay from our primary choice.  BAD choice.  Food wasn’t anything like the other places we have chosen before.

The only picture from today is one from Bass Harbor Light House.
