Now I Really Have Seen Everything!

This morning, as we were leaving Pokemouche, we had to stop for gas.  The nice attendant was filling er up (which can take some time) so we were wandering around the depanneur looking for a snack for the road.  We tried on sunglasses, checked out the candy bars and then came across this package - flat about 8" x 12" with a blue label that was all in French.  Curious, we asked the lady at the counter what it was, and in her best northern New Brunswick English said they were Communion Wafers.  So here's the dope:  4 sheets of 25 wafers each cost $3.95 plus tax and each wafer has 65 calories in it.  NOOOOO KIDDING!!  We didn't get a snap of the package so I went online and found this ad for another brand - I hope no one will be offended.

Before I left, Carolyn got me this little garden in a can, to satisfy my barely visible green thumb while I am away.  So for her benefit, we now have 6 seedlings appearing above the soil and they should be impatiens by labour day.  Thanks, kidlet!

This afternoon, we stopped at Bouctouche and visited the boardwalk.  This wooden bridge-like structure stretches out several kilometers over the ocean and parallel to shore.  It was a tad nippy out there today, but well worth the scolding we got from Miss Hathaway for not taking the umpteenth U-turn she was demanding and definitely not something to be missed if you're out this way.

Have I mentioned what a healthy diet we've been following on the road?  We have been dining on fresh produce, supplemented by egg salad sandwiches and hearty cereals for breakfast.  We're saving up for our first big lobster feast, which we are expecting in the next day or two. Here's Ann with her special cucumber and coleslaw salad - M M Good!
