My family went to D.C. to be at the historic rally where Dr. King spoke. It was enormous.<br /><br />And the mountain climbing: Acadia National Park was the site of three vacations I went on in the 1970s. Gorgeous place and to eat right on a harbor, fresh lobster and pie.<br />Bar Harbor has beautiful views but the rest of Mount Desert Island is magnificent -- the ocean drive and view, the mountains and panoramas, the lakes nestled in forests.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-37746905776256444902011-11-07T23:55:24.032-05:002011-11-07T23:55:24.032-05:00Yvette: You have had as interesting life experienc...Yvette: You have had as interesting life experiences as I would have expected from reading your blog.

I can...What an interesting life you've had!<br /><br />I can't think of anything -- or not that I'd admit to -- that others might not have done.<br /><br />The things I can think of are:<br /><br />I caught perch while fishing at age 9 in Lake Superior on a family vacation.<br /><br />I held two giant macaws, one on each arm at a Florida entertainment park.<br /><br />I pet a tapir at another park on that trip.<br /><br />I heard Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. speak at the massive 1963 Civil Rights march.<br /><br />I ate fresh out-of-the-oven green apple pie at the top of Day Mountain in Maine's Acadia National Park in 1980. We hiked up with it. This is one of the most beautiful places in the U.S.<br /><br />I stayed up all night playing cut-throat games of hearts with friends circa 1976-1984. Everyone made wise-cracks all night -- hilarious.kathy d.noreply@blogger.com
