[Magdalen] Where to go?

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, one doesn't visit Bar Harbor. One visits Acadia Nat'l. Park (which is 
beautiful), and Bar Harbor is just the main town there - where you go to 
have dinner. Nice Episcopal church there, but nothing much else to recommend 
it. And don't forget popovers on the lawn at the Jordan Pond House.

Montreal is only ~3 hours' from here but we've never been there. Need to do 
that sometime. Quebec City is (IMHO) very much worth visiting.

I drove from Kamouraska (Quebec) to Bar Harbor (Maine) in one day
once. Wouldn't do it again. Long boring drive. And Bar Harbor is
not worth a visit IMO. Like Martha's Vineyard, it's full of people
from New York & New Jersey (in season, at least).

Montreal is a truly great world-class city and I can never get enough
of it. I've considered moving there even. Quebec not so much (and
the people are horribly bourgie, where Montreal is culturally wonderfully
diverse). Quebec's pretty, though. In an Olde Worlde Disney way.

Cape Breton is my idea of heaven. But YMMV. Maine just makes me
want to cry, knowing the rich have driven the poor away from the
coast. Beauty strips and all. Dear me.
