Fun Day at Fundy

September 9th 2013
Good thing it WAS a fun day at the Bay of Fundy because I've been waiting to use that blog title for a long time. When we lived in Anchorage, AK, many years ago I was fascinated by the amazing tides in Cook Inlet and by the fact that they were the second biggest tides in the world.

Great pictures
WE went through the house, and yes! They make a big deal about Anne of Green Gables. Told you we met Tammy and her twin sister Kathy and their mother (and one of their sorority sisters) there and had lunch with them near that house. They had come primarily to see the "Anne" country since it had been a favorite when they were growing up. Turns out the Japanese included this story in their curriculum and the place is often over run with Japanese. Loved the Bay of Fundy, too. I think we spent most of the day there watching from one place and then another. NO rafting for us, though. That should be fun. I guess Nova Scotia will be next? There is a Morrison cafe on the northern most part of N.S. we ate in. Chatted with the owners, second generation Scottish. You know Grandpa Steeples had Morrisons in his background so that was sort of fun. I would love to go back to N.S. We were there a week and could have done two. Love your blog.

Anne country
Joe had never heard of the book(s). I had seen the PBS series a couple of times on TV, but now I think I'm going to see if it's on Netflix. Don't you love reading books and seeing movies about places you've been?

Movies, books...
Yes, I do love seeing those places. On of the thrills of my life was walking on the China Wall.
