Province Lands Bike Trail – first bike trail ever constructed in a National Park. Biked about 10kms of trails through varying landscapes inland through the trees then right out to the ocean. Along the way we kept coming across these little red foxes running about 😳 Really run bike ride!

Provincetown Cape Cod – We visited Provincetown because we wanted to go to the very tip of Cape Cod. Once there we quickly realized Provincetown is about as β€˜far out’ as you can get … in more ways than one πŸ™„ 🫣 πŸ˜– A busy town with β€œall kinds” of people. They were walking, biking, driving; weaving in and out around each other down the very narrow streets – no rules here!  We didn’t stay long πŸš—πŸ’¨ πŸƒπŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½

Martha’s Vineyard – Took a fun 30 minute ferry ride over to see Martha’s Vineyard and the famous Gingerbread Houses

The locals call this area the Gingerbread Houses
An immaculate and very colourful, cute cul-de-sac full of all these types of privately owned houses
There was a whole row of these chess picnic tables all along the harbour

Acadia National Park – Drove to Maine to spend the September long weekend in Acadia National Park before heading back into Canada for a couple of months. Wow it was SO busy in Bar Harbor! September long weekend, a Farmers Market and a Craft Fair! It was just a buzz of activity!! πŸ˜… We almost had to zip in our rear view mirrors to get down the main street! 🫣

Bought some fresh goodies at the Farmers Market, then on the way out the musician stopped Lynn when he noticed his Oilers cap – Another oilers fan! Wow! πŸ˜…
We had swordfish tacos for lunch! Delish!! πŸ˜‹
Beautiful morning hike – Cliffs and Beach in Acadia National park
