Was up in Acadia National Park (with about 2 days in Portland beforehand). My first time ever in Maine, pretty beautiful place, although I typically don't travel in the summertime and I was quickly reminded as to why. Still, it's always great to get lost in a national park. My wife and I did a bunch of hikes (including a few with our dog), biked about 25 miles a day on the carriage roads, saw the sunrise and sunset from Cadillac Mountain, and drank tons of incredible local beer and ate lobster like it was going out of style. Basically, a perfect vacation!

Ever been?

What were lobster prices like? I heard that in Pennsylvania the prices were way higher than normal, but I'm hoping to get some when I get to Rhode Island in a couple of weeks.

A few people talked to us about that and I've heard that before around here in NY. Basically, it's just a surge in demand more than anything so it's driving up prices and with supply chain issues everywhere, it's difficult to satisfy the demand once you leave the shores. It should be fine in Rhode Island, and I never went anywhere in Maine (or here, for that matter) where it wasn't available.

We had whole lobster twice, it was about $70 (for 1.5 lbs) in Portland, and then we went to a lobster farm in the southwest harbor of Acadia where it was about half the price. It was also "soft shells" which was incredible - it's the season in which they molt. It's not like soft shell crab where you eat the whole thing, but rather you can crack the whole thing with your bare hands and the meat is insanely sweet. If you come across it, I definitely recommend it, although to be honest I don't know when the season ends.

For lobster rolls, they were basically $30 on average throughout Maine.
