We are really getting into the swing of the Maritimes now. We spent the past two days in Cap Pelé, which is in the far eastern end of New Brunswick, where it attaches to Nova Scotia and the bridge to Prince Edward Island. We gathered our wandering friends all together in one campground. Judy and Henry Lahore from Seattle before they sold their home three years ago and Al and Audrey Sinner who have been traveling with us. We were all camped together in one spot overlooking the Northumberland Strait. One day we all jammed ourselves into Al’s pickup and drove over to Sackville. We did some birding, some money changing, grocery shopping and some wi-fi surfing. Then it was the gal’s night off and the guys treated at the local Fred’s Restaurant. Don’t get the wrong idea, Fred’s came with high recommendations and they had some fantastic seafood.

This morning Judy and Henry headed for the Bay of Fundy to see the huge 24 foot tide today and then they are headed back to the states. Gary, Judy Al and Audrey traipsed across the 13 kilometer long Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island. We have come to roost in a perfectly wonderful park called Mill River Provincial Park. There is certainly no problem with crowding and we don’t need reservations yet. This park is about 10% filled late this afternoon. It is not hard to imagine that the price of the Diesel fuel, ($3.34 (US) per gallon,) might be keeping RV’ers away this summer. The weather is blustery and cold today with intermittent drizzles to keep us somewhat close to the coach. I did get the broken spoke replaced in Path’s front wheel, and he feels a whole lot better.

Just before supper we had a period of no drizzle, so we walked around the park. There is a marina that rents canoes and kyaks. The dock is condemmed and the two place kyak leaks, but other than that it is a nice marina. There is also a golf course and an aquatics center, so there is a lot to do here. Just after we returned to the coach the drizzle returned, so it is time to concentrate on supper. Tonight the four of us will be dining on baked chicken breasts, with new potatoes, coldslaw and spinach. To compliment that we have a “…soft, fruity, delicious red wine made from Merlot grapes.” from Walnut Crest of the Raphel Valley in Chile. I still don’t understand why the cheapest wine has the longest legs.

As usual we send our greetings and love to all of our friends and relations across the miles. Bye for now, Gary and Judy
