I wish someone would remind me, before I get here, just how beautiful New Brunswick really is and how under rated it seems to be elsewhere. This morning we set out from St-Basile near Edmundston and headed across the top of the province. For about 140 km from St. Quentin to Bathhurst we saw nary a house, billboard, car, truck, motorcycle, or roadkill. It was raining and the clouds were just above our heads as we travelled through these wilds. Magnificent! We stopped at Pokemouche which is at the very tip of the Acadien Peninsula and FINALLY had our first glimpse of the ocean!!! Did you know that New Brunswick is the only province that uses cow moose on their Moose Crossing signs?
Every Friday while we're travelling, Ann and I buy a Lotto Max ticket. This week's jackpot is around 23 million but every dollar of that money could not buy the luxury of crawling into a cozy bed (in the middle of the day) under a puffy duvet and drifting off to the sound of rain pattering on the roof and a cat snoring at your feet. I love this vacation!!!
As we drove along today, there was a whole stretch of Highway 11 that was populated with tiny little houses. It was like driving through Munchkin Land. They looked like regular houses, but about 1/2 scale. Quite a test of the imagination to picture the family who lives in a 10' by 12' home.
For those of you who have been asking about our zip lining adventure at Grand Falls - Unfortunately, the weather intervened and we had to postpone until we're on our way back. (Such a disappointment!!!)
Tomorrow promises more rain, so we're going to head off to the Atlantic Museum and Aquarium and do some indoor sight seeing.
To be continued.......
So who *does* live in the tiny homes? Are they regular residences or what ? There are some here in Saskatoon that are about that size but they are duplexes and part of a seniors residence complex.
ReplyDeleteThey seem like regular houses on regular lots for regular people - only in miniature. Strangest thing I've ever seen!
