Our second stop was in Bar Harbor, Maine. Pete went in search of an extension cord and found these fall colors over the "Lompoc" restaurant. Unknown why they chose that name! 10-16-07
This fellow donned this cap for pictures. He runs a very small shop with very fresh fish. Katie had a great Lobster roll there (Pete can't comment on how good it was, he had a hamburger) 10-16-07
This is one of the restaurants on the pier in Bar Harbor. Covered with floats from the various traps. Each fisherman has a particular color code to mark his traps. 10-16-07
We found Theodore the tugboat in Halifax! He was done towing tourists for the season and resting for next summer.

Sydney was our last port (and we were the last ship of the season here - gets iced up in the winter). These decorated pumpkins were for sale on the main street to raise money for a hospice there. 10-24-07
Huge Violin at the Sydney harbor, note the bagpiper in the background. He could be heard even with the door to our balcony closed! 10-24-07
