GNRT DAY 47 ACADIA BRAND NEW

What has astounded us most this road trip…what amazes us more and more Is how every day we’ve been surprised by something we’ve never seen before. It could come from any place…any what, when, where or who… but every day we’ve been blessed to see something brand new. Today we journeyed to the Jordan Pond Restaurant in Acadia National Park . We were told their popovers are some of the best in all he nation What we weren’t told, however, was…we needed a reservation. No reservations meant no popovers…so how did we respond we took a walk enjoying the beauty that surrounded Jordan Pond. The beauty of the crystal clear pond, paired with a village of mushrooms and the greenest, softest moss beneath our feet helped us quickly to forget the popovers we didn’t eat. We visited Sand Beach where on the sand surrounded by cliffs we allowed the Atlantic Ocean to caress our feet…. just as we did on Rialto Beach with the Pacific Ocean making this coast to coast circle complete. Since we didn’t get to eat our popovers and we walked 4 miles around the pond and on the Ocean Path along the shore we treated ourselves to another Whoopoie Pie…this time the flavor was s’more. We were in Acadia 12 years ago…so some of these things we’ve done before but we’ve never touched two oceans in 47 days, or ate a Whoopie Pie S’more. We never saw a mushroom village or moss so abundant and green beneath our feet and we never thought losing out on a popover wold ever be so sweet. I guess when you stop and think about it…every day we’re alive is like a prize filled with chances to be amazed…filled with moments of surprise… Because every day we walk along the shore or eat a Whoopie Pie s’more we’re not the exact same person we were the day before. How wonderful would it be if we were all astonished more and more? If every day we were surprised by something we’ve never seen before? It could come from any place…any what, when, where or who.. If everyday we were blessed to feel…as well as see something brand new.
