Mount desert Island Maine is a vary beautiful place.
The idea of a lobster hatchery got me in stiches. Never have I thought that was possible. This is becoming a bit like a farm to harvest chicks for KFC. Maybe the lobsters can be cultivated for the ocean rather than Gordon Ramsey's diners.
Wow! We were suppose to have immigrated there from Europe almost 30 years ago but instead ended up in Misery(MO). Seeing photos like this make your eyes water.

I'm sure this is an awesome experience and I could only imagine the fun it would be to get wasted at the bar. Then again how safe is it for those who like to get drunk. Wondering how many customers found themselves taking an involuntary dip into the water.
