All’s Well That Ends Well

Hurricane Earl ended up being a bit of a hoax after all. We, of course, needlessly retreated to the safety of an EconoLodge in an effort to avoid the hurricane that wasn’t. But being stuck in a hotel room for a night wasn’t all bad. The downtime allowed Shannon to catch up on some projects and me to work on my chess game. Tabitha spent a productive evening curled up with her book, Jane’s Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World.

By noon the next day we were back in Bar Harbor; the heat lifted and the clouds parted. The forecast is for beautiful weather the rest of the week. Hoo-Ray!
