North Rustico Wharf
20 juin 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We spent our final day on Prince Edward Island back at the wharf in North Rustico. (We had to have another taste of the delicious seafood chowder at the Blue Mussel Cafe!) We loved seeing the lobstermen on the wharf bringing in their huge catch for the day. Tonight we had a group dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf--more lobster!En savoir plus

VoyageurToday we were joking about being on the Chowder Trail since we have tried it in virtually every town. Come to find out that PEI actually has one! So far Blue Mussel Cafe wins out.

North Shore/Ross Family Ceilidh
19 juin 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Today we first drove to Brackley Beach where we saw various local artists' works. After a nice lunch in the studio cafe and gardens, we drove along another area of the north shore which is also part of the National Park system. We found wide sandy beaches with surprisingly warm water pools. Tonight we had quite a treat. We went to the Ross Family Ceilidh nearby and were amazed at their talent both in music and traditional step dancing. They put on quite a show!En savoir plus

VoyageurSome of the locals were brave enough to try the water at the beach. The Ceilidh was a special treat of traditional Scottish/Acadian music which is very much like our Bluegrass music. The roots all stem from Scotland and Ireland. Excellent!

We started our day by visiting the house and barn of Anne of Green Gables fame. It is now part of a National Park with lovely walking trails as well. Afterward we drove to the wharf at North Rustico for lunch at the Blue Mussel Cafe-- yummy seafood chowder and fresh halibut. After lunch we drove along the north shore which has also been preserved as a National Park with its beautiful red rock formations. Offshore were thousands of lobster pots and working lobster boats.En savoir plus

Prince Edward Island
17 juin 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We drove south and crossed the Confederation Bridge to reach Prince Edward Island today. The drive across the island to our campground was spectacular with verdant rolling hills and lush farmlands. We saw many red sand potato fields that reminded us of Georgia and Alabama red clay. Tonight we visited Avonlea Village which consisted of antique buildings that are now shops and restaurants.En savoir plus

Acadia
15 juin 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We spent the day at the Village Historique Acadien. It is a huge collection of historic homes and shops from earlier times. Each house and shop had a docent reenacting life as it was in the eighteenth century. They did a great job and gave us many samples of Acadian food to taste. Fun day and beautiful weather.En savoir plus

We enjoyed relaxing this morning in our campground , Hartt Island Resort on the St. John River. It is a lovely site and we were surprised to discover that it contains a large palm tree lined pool and water park! Even though the palms are fake, it made us feel like home.
We returned to town to visit Christ Church a beautiful cathedral built in 1845. Afterward we went across the river to eat lunch at Wolastoq Wharf , a seafood restaurant owned by native Americans. Delicious.En savoir plus

Today we traveled north to Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. On one turn on the highway we suddenly faced a railroad underpass of 4 meters (13 ft.)! We came to screeching halt since we are a little taller. Some nice Canadian trucker stopped and told us that it actually was a little higher than posted and that we would fit underneath. Whew!
After arriving we went on a walking tour of the historic city center.En savoir plus

Ministers Island
11 juin 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We drove across the bottom of the ocean floor at low tide to reach Ministers Island, the estate of Sir William Van Horne. It is only accessible at low tide and a strange feeling to know that the path will be covered by 20 feet of water when the tide comes in. The island houses his 50 room estate and the country's largest wooden barn. The weather turned blustery and chilly while we were there so we ate our picnic lunch in the car! Tonight we had heavy rain.En savoir plus

VoyageurThe Van Horne Cottage is very interesting. 50 rooms filled with his furnishings and own paintings which were well crafted. The barn was built by unemployed ship wrights so the structure is like an inverted sailing vessel.

We arrived in Lake George Sunday evening after driving once again in pouring rain. On Monday we drove among the mansions in Saratoga Springs and saw the historic race track. Then we drove along the western shore to the Sagamore Resort and walked the beautiful grounds along the lake. Today we took a boat ride to the north part of the lake. The lake nestled among the Adirondack mountains is absolutely beautiful. We were surprised, however, at how cold and drizzly it has been here in June.En savoir plus
