this was the view from our motel...(i have noticed that there are a ton of motels up here and not a lot of hotels...hmmmm interesting)we grabbed dinner and watched the cubs play...monday brought with it new adventures...i went for a 5 mile run...which was ok...the knee is still giving me a decent amount of pain...but i tell you what...the 'hills' we have in minnesota are nothing compared to the 'hills' in maine...the run kicked my butt...which i guess is good...maybe some of it will disappear? (i can hope)...then we walked through town for awhile...got some great ice cream...then we headed into acadia national park...this was amazing...it rained off and on but not hard enough for us to not be able to enjoy the views...
we got out and hiked around as well...this was amazing...i will add photos of the cave that we went into down by the ocean...the tide was out...after our adventures in the park we went back to town for dinner...tuesday was another day...we were planning on going back into the park and hiking from the summit of one mountain to the summit of another...but alas the rain was still with us...we decided to make our way south...the further south we went the better the weather...we got to sam and alyce's house around 4 in the afternoon...(dom and sam met in training for ge years ago)...we had a nice relaxed night chatting with them...oh yeah i forgot to tell you...i got a phone call around 6pm asking me if i could be in vermont thursday for an interview...yikes...i said i didn't think so and the lady said she would get back to me...after talking with dominic and discovering that we really aren't that far from vermont (4-5hours) he said we could get me there for a thursday afternoon interview...stay tuned...as we went to bed tueday night the plan was for sam, dom and i to go fishing in the morning...we were going to try a couple of different places...the marsh, the rocks along the ocean, and off the beach...weeeelllll...we woke this morning and it was raining...shocker there...the bad weather seems to follow dom and i..(hopefully not to boston this weekend)...well the fishing was still on because don't fish always bite best in rain...(yeah right)...there were only enough supplies for 2 people to fish...bummer...i went for my 9 mile run instead...it was fine...better then i thought it would be...i ran out 2.5 miles and had to pee right from the get go...but of course there wouldn't be a porta potty anywhere around...i was on the 2.5 miles back when i couldn't take it anymore...i had to pee...so i figured...what the heck im in the middle of the woods...no one around...im already wet from the rain so it wouldn't be sooo bad...so i copped a squat...i was able to run much faster after that!...haaaaa shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone...haha...well the boys were VERY cold by the time i made it back to the start of my run and they wanted to go get into dry clothes and get full rain gear on before heading back out...this said and done we went to the beach...i finished the last 4 miles there...wow...these hills still kicking me...ha...but legs felt ok today...hip and knee hurt after the run (could really use an adjustment lisa...:-))...anyway the boys had no luck with fishing so dominic made his wings and jalapeno poppers and corn on the cob for dinner...very good well done dom!!....we have spent the rest of the night watching episodes of planet earth from the discovery channel...off to bed now...have a big day tomorrow....oh crap that's right i forgot to keep you updated...i talked with sid...the lady that called about the interview again today and im all set to interview tomorrow (thursday) at 3:30...so here we go...ive also had interaction with other contacts for a couple other jobs...i think i am meeting with one of them next week...ill let you know how the interview goes...quoting dominic...'stay tuned'

Love your blog. Wonder if we could do those lobsters on the beach on Bonaire?
No seaweed.
Sending positive thoughts for your interview. Exciting times!
Honk for Clifford!
Good luck on your interview Kaela! Even though I'd love for you to stay here, it sounds like you'd have so much fun out there too!
I'm thinking about you!
The pictures look great by the way! I know what you mean about the melted butter. I'm a big fan also! It may be the only reason I like lobster actually.
Wow! That's all I can say...WOW! first off, as I keep saying, sounds like an amazing experience you're having. 2nd off, we have to go running when you come back (even if you only come back for a short time). Let us know how the interview(s) go!
Seeing your face in the lobster fest picture brought tears to my eyes. I really miss you girl. What an amazing trip/adventure you are on and I'm envious! I'm in Springfield right now, not a planned trip. I'll have to tell you more about it someday (staying at dad's right now...his personal life issues, not mine)
Loving your blog and it's inspiring me to start my own (VERY much a work in progress; I don't have a clue). My sis had already mentioned the idea and after seeing yours I had to try it. Love all your stories and being able to keep in touch--can't wait to hear about your interviews! :)
Update, Please!!! :)
