    I didn’t think Sylvia’s look like anything special but the Iron Maiden music may have sold me to try. 😂

      I think that was the first time ever that I heard Iron Maiden playing on the radio in a restaurant! They got big bonus points for that. :D

    "Acadian" is the name for the kind of French they speak in New Brunswick, and points east, including parts of Maine. It is quite different from the French they speak in Quebec! When the French were kicked out, they went to Louisiana, and "Acadian" became "Cajun."

      Yup, Maine was originally part of New France, named after one of the old Northern Provinces of France... in fact, part of my Great Great Grandfather's former farm in Bellechasse Quebeq, is now in Maine (Thanks to the moving of the border after the Russ-Baggot treaty, when once again, Britain threw Canada under the bus)

    Will be here July 7th & 8th. Important question, Fogtown Brewery, what is the name of the sparkling Apple wine and the pizza with corn. My wife is interested in both, lol, and she isn’t easy to please, ha ha. Thanks for a great video! R, Cecil

    • @chrisplusmelissa
      @chrisplusmelissa  2 года назад +1

      We were in Maine in May and it was a pretty good time we felt to be there. Nothing was overly busy. But it was still a bit cold. We've never been in Maine any other time of year, so it's hard to feel like we're experts. :)

    Did they ask to see your park pass in order to let you onto Bar Island?

    • @chrisplusmelissa
      @chrisplusmelissa  2 года назад +1

      No. There also didn't appear to be any official post for checking that kind of stuff. My guess is that sometimes, there's probably a ranger out and about and they may just ask you for your pass.

    • @srkh8966
      @srkh8966 2 года назад +1

      As far as I know, no one ever checks it. Update: your park pass is for your car only. You don’t need it when you’re hiking, and you can access the park without a car.
