Wednesday 4 pm (EST): Switch drivers. Dad is driving again. We are merging back onto 80. Or is it 90 now? POP. Hmm. i wonder what that was.
Wednesday 5:30 (EST): Steak and shake for dinner. Yum. Oh, whats that? A sprung spring and a slashed tire? Uh-oh!
Friday 12 PM (EST): LOOK ITS THE JORDAN POND DORM!!! Shoot. No cell reception.
Friday 7 pm (EST): Hi. Wanna go to the beach with us? Sure. Hi. Want to go to ImprovAcadia with us? Sure.
Saturday 10 am (EST): Dad, lets go on a boat ride!
Thats the first few days in an nutshell. The car got fixed in Hamburg, NY (outside of Buffalo) starting about 8 am and put us about 5 hours behind, but we made it on Friday to Acadia National Park. It is way hot here. But these are the hottest two days all summer. It shouldn't last. I got unpacked, locked my keys in my car, figured out how to go from no reception to reception only in town. Went to the beach, cut open my leg, and went to an improv show with some of the ACMNP people plus a couple. It was hilarious. Afterwards, we came back and I went to bed. Dorms are 4 people to a room (Think small than a normal dorm room, with 2 bunk beds, 4 closets, and some shelves between the beds and a window. Add it to the second floor of an unconditioned building in 80 some degree weather and you get our room. this morning, I went back into town and dad and I went on the nature boat ride and saw all the islands around. We were going to go whale watching, but It was 4 hours long and its cold out on the ocean, and it would be pushing it to get dad back to the hotel in time to leave for the airport.
Most everyone in the dorms (theres 51 of us!) works during the day, either at the restaurant or the shop. On peoples days off, it seems some go into town or go hiking, or climbing. some seem to just chill. I'm sure it depends on what day it is and who else is off with you. I'm thinking if it cools down hiking sounds fun. .Or biking. And ofcourse, going into town once and a while to turn on my phone.
