Hi, Friends – The next several photos are of Grand Manan Island. It was our first trip there, although we’d been to Campobello and Deer Islands before which are nearby. All three of these islands are considered part of New Brunswick and are quite close to Maine. We took an hour and a half ferry ride to get there and then, three days later, to return to the mainland. For the first two days, we had heavy fog and couldn’t see much, so the first day we had some good down time in our cozy camper with our fuzzy, warm travel cats and some good TV stations.

The catch was living with 7-11 other young people, and we had to do fulltime volunteer work. I left for Ontario on March 3rd, so just over a year ago. Im not going to get into too much detail on this now. But i will say it was the best thing I have ever done with my life and I have met some amazing people. I spent 3 months in Terrace Bay, 2 months in Montreal and a little less than a month in Yellowknife. The type of volunteer work varied from working ... read more
