Fish and Trips

Flower Pots - Hopewell Rocks
Aw! Lovely New Brunswick!  Our last day here was spent off the highways and biways and deep in the lush farmlands along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy.  Tonight we're staying at Hopewell Cape, right next to the giant flower pots that sit on the floor of the Bay at low tide and where you can walk on the ocean floor.  What a wonder!  This is the area of the country my great great grandmother, Jane Rogers is from and tomorrow, before we leave, we will be visiting her father's grave at the Stoney Creek Cemetery just up the road.

Our journey to the Maritimes always includes plenty of seafood and this year the price of
Lobster Supper
Lobster is at an all time low.  Ann's full Lobster Supper tonight was about $15.00 and I had the most amazing Fish and Chips I think I've ever eaten.  Oh, and some delicious seafood chowder that I couldn't resist.

Tomorrow we'll be heading just a couple of hours south, to our final destination, Scotia Pines Campground, just south of Truro.  There is always an amazing feeling of homecoming as we pass the blue and white lighthouse that is part of the "WELCOME TO NOVA SCOTIA" sign.  We have many people to see, places to go, events to attend and cemeteries and museums to explore.  Can't wait to get started!

To be continued.................
