August 27, 2011 Saint Johns, New Brunswick

The fog is so dense you can't see the city of the bay from up on the hill at the campground.  The temperature is 60.  We found a grocery store and boy is it expensive.  We spent $80.00 and really can't tell you on what!

We used the GPS to find downtown and wondered around.  here is a huge park with flowers all around and the old church's.

  One of our favorite spots was the market where they had everything and all kinds of food.  You could buy a whole lobster or a gourmet meal.  The farmer markets up here are nothing like the ones we have down south!  The roof of the market used to be part of a ship.

As always I had wonderful comments on my cross that Roy made me.

The Old Church was something else.

The figures were so wonderful!  People were sitting around them waiting on a bus.  So Al and I could not resist having our picture made there.

A lady in a gift store told us about the market and about the reversing falls.  We went to the falls after leaving the city market.  The falls reverse at high tide .  The water comes in under the river and the flow of the river appears to stop.  When the tide goes out the flow of the river becomes obvious again.  The whirlpools go in counter clock wise and reverse.  Unusual to see both in one spot.

We cooked burgers at camp and walked around the lake.  Lights out around 10:00

August 26, 2011 Bangor, Maine

Tis morning we went to a 50's style breakfast place at the recommendation of the owners of the campground.  It was a really cool place and we enjoyed the breakfast.

From there we went in to Bangor to a photo shop to try to save my pictures.  I didn't want to lose more
of them after having lost the first part of the trip.  The little girl put them on a cd and began showing me how to use my camera so that I would not have a problem in the future.  I took her picture for memory sake as she was so helpful!

We finally ended up in Calais the last town before going into Canada.  We ate lunch with Grappy at Grappy's stand.  He has been married for 35 years and has lived in this town all his life.  He said the Canadian traffic is steady!

We entered Canada and because of a mix up on the amount of alcohol and the fact that I had a mace container they detained us.  They went through every thing in our camper and treated us like harden criminals.  I was truly ready to turn around and go back into the USA.  After two hours and $48.00 they let us go on into Canada.

Because of the delay at the border we rushed the trip to Saint John's, New Brunswick knowing that we would see the scenery on our way home.  We got to a city Campground Rockland Park and set up camp.
They also had a restaurant so we walked over to the restaurant and ate on the dock next to a lake.  They also had Irish singers playing music for us.

The lady at the campground told me she liked my pocketbook so I gave her my new one that I had purchased at Mt. Washington.  She gave me a Christmas ornament made out of the mud in Fundy Bay.
She works two jobs and I felt she was deserving of getting the new bag!

Al was disappointed that we didn't have any Fox News but we were happy to have two channels on the tv.
