Over night it poured, I think we need to build an arc. Dickson Falls was our first stop. With some rain/drizzle we hiked out to the falls in a deep valley, mostly on a boardwalk/steps. The rain has created lush wilderness with delightful smells of wood and pine. Herring Cove, our next stop, is a viewing spot for the tides of Fundy, the highest tides in the world. We caught the tides as high tide was approaching. The best time to view the tides is low tide, oh well! A quaint covered bridge leads us to Point Wolf. The trail winds down to a cove with some lovely rocks. It is now such a treat to return to the Bothan, out of the rain for some hot soup. Time to dry off. Our trip in the ... read more

New Brunswick!!! Finally met my Internet friend Horty! He is the best EVER! Plus he's going to drive me around so that's not so bad. He picked me up in Stevensville, New Brunswick and I will be spending a couple of days with him. He took me to Moncton to see the world famous tidal bore! Which is really just a river that slowly fills up according to the rushing in of the tides at Fundy Bay...or something like that. All I know is that the waters look like chocolate milk. We also spent some time in Shediac, New Brunswick, The Lobster Capital of the World. How do I know this? Well 1) There was a sign and 2) The have a ginormous lobster statue!!!! I would worship at its alter if I could. Eventually I ... read more
