Oh Canada, here we come!
2 сентября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
We are now on the road (Sat Sept 2nd) . Looking for experiences & sights to share with our Family and Friends. Plenty to map out and plan to see... 🗾
In for the night / in Maine

Met our first destination goal, Bangor! Had an excellent, inexpensive Mexican dinner, yum...
Now we and the car can rest, for the night. 😴🛌🥱
Meeting/Friends in Calais
3 сентября 2023 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
We attended the Sunday meeting in Calais, Maine. (Pronounced "callus")
It's 2 mins from the Border Crossing 🚸! Made some new Friends 🫂🤗 in the small congregation of 35 publishers.
Welcomed to Canada
3 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
This was THE fastest border crossing for us. All done ✅ in about 1 minute, no joke!🤣 I think we waited longer in line, maybe 2 1/2 minutes.
Our First Abode
3 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ 🌙 63 °F
This is quite the unique geodome, right in farm country. We can hear the cows off in the distance right now🐄🐮and the haymaker going back and forth. Lots of open skies, so star gazing willЧитать далее

Is that a functioning " out house" or just a decoration? ☺️
ПутешественникNope, not outhouse. It's rather tiny (covers the capped well here). It might work if we were Lilliputians 🤣🙊. https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/md/md14…
Hopewell Rocks (Low Tide) - Bay of Fundy
4 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
We visited Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy, where they have the largest difference between low and high in the world! Low tide today was 1.5 feet. High tide was 44+ feet!!!
These photos were takenЧитать далее
ПутешественникThanks Wendi. It was both neat, yet strange, to walk on the ocean floor. And because of all the iron/clay, the wet mud down there looks just like chocolate pudding 🙃. But we didn't try any!😵💫
Hopewell Rocks Tide Comparison
4 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
You can see the difference in the tide location from the first two photos. #1 was taken at low tide, while #2 was taken about 3 hours later - still a couple of hours before high tide.
ПутешественникHi Margarete & Mona. ( u found us) Yes, truly "awe inspiring ", you are so right! More to come this week and next, so come back here often 😉.

Practicing some photography... 📸
Not too hard working off the Creator's varied palette! 🎨
Village Acadien -- 1
6 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Visited a period-specific recreated Acadien village. Lots of authentic history and living characters sharing "their" specific crafts and experience.
*More details and locationЧитать далее

Yes, those are actual wooden clogs! Wondering if they are allowed to glue 21st-century insoles inside 🤔, with all the walking they do in the large village.
Village Acadien -- 2
6 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
Really enjoyed our history lesson here + we got in a good country walk in the very warm sunshine🌞 .
ПутешественникYes! Geoff told the lady of the house that we had friends that would have totally used that... and daily. What an appreciation Bill & Dolores maintained for such things!
Miscou Island Lighthouse
6 сентября 2023 г., Gulf of Saint Lawrence ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
Neat, easy-to-reach lighthouse.
History time here... (*notice the Champlain connection). The French explorer Jacques Cartier navigated along the shores of Miscou as early as July 3, 1534. He named theЧитать далее
Ocean time relaxation
6 сентября 2023 г., Gulf of Saint Lawrence ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
What an excellent memory we made on the eve of our 32nd anniversary ❤️ 📷.
Really felt like we were left alone in this private, peaceful spot at water's edge!
Easy anniversary
7 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
Quieter day! 🐌 🐢 Slow start at heading out & about. A personal chef👨🍳 made breakfast, a coastal ride north thru mostly modest residential areas, light picnic lunch near a smallЧитать далее
ПутешественникMany thanks again. Nothing too exciting here --- just old people stuff type of day. Took forever to get moving, rode around, got back early, ate at weird times, etc. Guess we are migrating there. After all, we have a kid in his 30s, starting today 🙃😬. (Just seeing if Nate actually is aware of our blogging 🤣😜)
Kouchibouguac National Park
8 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F
Drove thru the park (pronounced similar to Koo-she-BOO-gwock), still in New Brunswick. Got a bit of WiFi connection while at the Visitor Center, and then walked along the marsh boardwalk, ending atЧитать далее
Birds of New Brunswick

Here are a few of the birds we saw in New Brunswick. (I excluded the crows. 🤪)
1) Ruddy Turnstone
2) Ring-Billed Gull
3) Piping Plover
4-8) Great Blue Heron
Most were seen today at KellysЧитать далее
ПутешественникYes, Geoff was quite the steady hand on that camera zooming! 🎦🥰

I am really liking the bird's shadow on the water! To me, the shadow appears as if it were a pencil ✏️ sketch 🎨
Our Fun Cabin on P.E.I.
8 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
After arriving on Prince Edward Island this afternoon, we made our way over to our uniquely quirky cabin. (VIDEO link below) It is loaded with fun one-of-a-kind decorations. And everything necessaryЧитать далее

Compilation of seaside scenes we enjoyed
Lighthouses
9 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Very similar in appearance on PEI (Prince Edward Island).
But the settings, access, and amount of private-feeling areas do vary.
Anne of Green Gables Heritage Place
9 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ 🌬 73 °F
This was a must-see museum tour on the national Parks Canada list. It is based on the beloved fictional character, Anne. Its intent was to make the 1908 novel blend with the real-life experiences ofЧитать далее
The Dunes Studio Gallery & Cafe
9 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ 🌬 77 °F
This was a doubly recommended place to visit, by sisters in a congregation on the island. Free to tour, even without buying a meal! We are pleased that we went to look for this place! Being that weЧитать далее
ПутешественникLobster 🦞 Quiche and fresh salad 🥗 . Perfect (and we don't truly like Lobster, but when in Rome...)
Dunes Cafe -- flowers aplenty
9 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ 🌬 79 °F
This is a sampling of the many many plants in the gardens behind the Dunes Cafe. Our photographer, Geoff, braved one of our hottest days to capture Jah's gifted beauty. 🌹🌼
Bluebutterfly
Soooo beautiful and such variety!! Jehovah does love diversity. 😍
Dunes Cafe --- garden scenes

Entering Nova Scotia
10 сентября 2023 г., Канада ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
Woke up on the Island, PEI. Went to meeting with a ton of Friends, had a huge ice cream 🍨, and crossed the 15 minute bridge. Back on the big land, and have finally entered Nova Scotia. And getЧитать далее
BluebutterflyMiles' mother's family is from Beach Meadows, Nova Scotia. Any place near where you are?
ПутешественникNo, kinda opposite in direction. Beach Meadows is between Yarmouth and Halifax. The closest we might get to it is when we go to Halifax, but Geoff thinks that's where a lot of people come from the states cuz it's an easier trip there. We are in the Bras d'Or lakes region; just arrived a bit ago
Bluebutterfly
Love their root beer floats. Been ages (decades) since I have had one.
ПутешественникTo relive some memories DM, and maybe a few too much, go here: https://youtu.be/hWONWakkon0?si=wp23_N151S9yuPr_
