We visited Pippa’s classroom at MDI High School, and looked around the rest of the school (especially the library), meeting some of her colleagues. Lydia and Tom weren’t sure they understood why they mightn’t take books out of this library.

Then we checked out the Oceanarium, where we examined a complete humpback whale skeleton and met several lobsters of different colours. We watched feeding time at the Touch Tank, though we did not avail ourselves of the opportunity to touch hungry crabs, sea stars, and lobsters.

Winding up with a stop at Bar Harbor for lunch, where Margaret found a pair of trainers to replace the ones she wore out with all the walking.
