Lobster Capital

---

Well my lobster feast was finally realized in the lobster capital of the world and we cooked it ourselves a pound of shelled lobster - claw and knuckle meat- for 18.95 and it was wonderful. But, I am getting ahead of myself. After leaving Caroquet we travelled south through Miramishi arriving at Shediac, which is close to Moncton. Shediac is home to the largest lobster in the world. Unfortunately it is a tourist trap for the most part and they wanted money to go on the beach or the warf and since we have been on both didn't see the need to pay for it. We had fun touring the town and area. The town was established in the 1700's so it goes back aways. Sunday we went to the farmers market which was more like a festival than the farmers market we are used to. Sunday night we were treated to live music as the camp ground had a season end party for their seasonal campers.This lasted until 1 am, bu the music was country rock, and boomer music so we enjoyed it right from our trailer as we were right across from it. We bought other freash seafood and it was not that expensive. Tax is high in New Brunswick at a total of 18%. So buying was not high on our list and we only bought enough fuel to get us through. Monday morning we left for PEI.
