Last cruise ship
We had our last cruise ship in port on Halloween! Now most of the shops in town are closed. There are a few that stay open all year but it is going to be a ghost town in Bar Harbor.
Without the tourists the town doesn't exist! When I lived in Southern Maine it was the same way but rather than seeing the closing, I slowly saw things comin to live. There were very few things open when I lived there ... but I lived only a few miles from a "real" town where there were shops open all the time so it was not a huge deal. On Mt. Desert Island it is going to be even more difficult than usual to shop!
It is all a very amazing and intersting place to experience.

I bet that would be a geourgeous cruise along the NE coast in the fall!
I'm sure that you are relieved to have some peace and quiet in town.
Think 2013! :)
