Happy July! Hard to believe the classic summer month is upon us. I'm glad I wear a watch now adays that tells me what day it is. There are no cornfields here on Mount Desert Island so my usual way of telling the date based on the "knee high by fourth of July" time frame is useless.
A lot of people felt like eating popovers today. The restaurant and parking lot were jam-packed between 11:30 and 3:00. I had a much better day in the parking lot. I even played traffic cop a few times when the intersection became as congested as my sinuses during spring allergy season.
The late afternoon and early evening slowed down significantly at the Jordan Pond House. I had a chance to talk with Eidy and get to know her better. She's a Maine native and has worked at the info booth for an untold number of years. Her daughters spent several years working in the restaurant years ago. So the Jordan Pond House runs in her family.
I made it back to the dorm just in time to watch the second overtime during the US vs. Belgium soccer match. The outcome was a bummer. I've decided that I will not eat Belgian waffles for a week in retaliation...plus, I won't have access to Belgian waffles for at least a week.
During my run/hike I went to the summit of Sargent Mountain via trails that I haven't been on. Slowly but surely I am marking off the trails of Acadia National Park. I bet by the end of the month, I'll have hiked everything on the Mount Desert Island unit of Acadia.
Today's picture of the day is a screen shot of the soccer match. I wanted to prove that I am an actual soccer fan...at least during the World Cup.
