We spent the night near Grand Falls, New Brunswick and weren't exactly energetic to start the day. On our way to Fredericton, their capitol, we stopped for a view of Grand Falls, saw a small covered bridge and then the world's longest one, and couldn't resist a small detour to see the world's largest axe. Fredericton was our main stop. It was a beautiful little city, perfect for walking around. There were tons of restaurants and shops. We did a walking tour as part of looking for a geocache. It brought us past City Hall, the Legislative Assembly, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and a number of other buildings. It also brought us past the Historic Garrison District, a national historic site significant because British troops were garrisoned there from 1784 until 1869, when Canada assumed its ... read more

Yesterday we drove from Quebec to New Brunswick. New Brunswick is a Canadian Province in the Maritimes. We drove all day in the rain yesterday and stayed in Woodstock, New Brunswick. It was cold this morning..in the upper 40's and the furnace was on in the RV. Sometime in the night the electricity went off but came back on. Our slide in the bedroom would go part of the way out last night but we were able to get in bed. When you have a RV, it is always something. Today we drove to Cap-Pele in New Brunswick. It was a beautiful day but a little cool. One thing that I noticed is how steep the roofs are. I guess so the snow doesn't accumulate on the roof. The landscape on the drive down was a ... read more

Once again back at Tom's sisters and the sun is shining bright, but the mosquitos are still ever present so being out side is not a option. We decided to take Tom's sister and go and see here son and a pick up a few groceries today. Prices has always been an interest to me (weird ya I know) and most stuff was comparable to us except the dairy products. oh my my, a bag of milk is almost eight bucks and cream, butter and beef were just as expensive. seafood of coarse was a bit cheaper.... read more

There are 2 motels near the rocks and the one did not take dogs so we ended up @ the Chocolate River motel. The rooms were clean, but other then a bed toilet, sink and tub, they didn't offer much. I knew going in that it was no where 5 star, but was hoping at least for a mini fridge lol. We then went to eat Tom had spotted a place on our way to the motel, so we went to check it out. Pauline's place was the name of the restaurant and there were several cars in the lot, so it looked promising. But unless you were a regular, they didn't seem to care about our business. We were group 3 of the 6 groups there, and watching the waitress with the others that lived ... read more

Well it's early and I'm up, while everyone else sleeps I figured it was a good time to add some things we have done. We arrived on Thursday and Tom's sister Shelia could not believe we were there. Her children came over with their children and we had a nice visit. Friday we were up and out the door, left a note gone for a little drive. We left at 8:00 and returned around supper. New Brunswick travel in one of their travel books gives a scenic driving map. It is made up of 5 different routes, so we thought we drive for a bit and follow the map, wedid the Acadian coastal drive and needless to say we finished almost the entire route. Turning back at Port Elgin and leaving Sacville as the only place ... read more
