..... and a familiar place. Yes, we're back in New Brunswick, but only just, as we are nearly out of it agaiin! We're in St. Andrews, a beautiful heritage town just a little south of St. Stephen which the Fukawi will remember well - the border crossing where our hopes of an Atlantic Canada ride were finally dashed! Andy walked over the bridge to try and get permission to enter Canada as we didn't dare get the bikes impounded!
Anyway, it is a beautiful spot and we saw some lovely Fundy scenery on the way in.
Turns out that when the British and the US went to war in 1812, the locals on both sides decided they really had more in common than they had differences. These guns and the blockhouse were built to defend against the US just the other side of the bay, but were not used as the locals on both sides declared a truce.
We did collect a few signs that our friend's ancestors have been here for a while.
Apparently the first summer hotel registered in Canada
Yep, that sounds like Andy!
Oh, and we met the couple from Missouri riding this trike. Nice folks up here enjoying what Canada has to offer. Shawn, you might really like this one!
Tomorrow first thing we are heading in to Maine. Fukawi guys note we may stay at the Victoria Inn in Bethel! What could possibly go wrong?
Finally, a sign that the lobsters are getting angry at this constant abuse.
