I'd forgotten about rain

Seriously, this is the first time it has rained in the daytime since I left England. I'd forgotten how much it can spoil your day. I arrived in Bar Harbor (yes, I know they spell it wrong) after a twelve hour bus,bus,ferry,bus,bus,minibus connection-fest had a bite to eat and went straight to bed. Rising late I was dismayed to see how dismal it was outside, like England in October. Still I got some shopping and cooking done, and there's always the laundry for a bit of light relief. The sun came out today and Bar Harbor was starting to look like the kind of place I like. Being such a nice day I went down to the pier to enquire about a whale watch trip, but appearently it's too rough out there so I'll have to try again tomorrow. The forecast promises no rain for the rest of the week so fingers crossed.
