Greetings from College of the Atlantic

Today all 15 students made it to the dorms at College of the Atlantic, our home base for the next 10 days. As the students arrived, card games began. We all shared dinner together at Take-a-Break, College of the Atlantic's dining hall which has been rated best college food by the Princeton Review.

After dinner we got to know one another by sharing pictures of our families, friends, pets and other interests. By the end of the day many of the students had found connections to each other. Two girls, who happen to be roommates, are both from towns called Wayne. Two girls have apple allergies. Another set of roommates both play field hockey.

It's a fantastic group of students, and we can't wait to get out into the Bar Harbor community tomorrow with our cameras.

Until soon,
Elie and Mike
