Habitant Motel and Restaurant Moncton

... beginning to set in so we forsook the lighthouse in favour of a quilt shop in a place called O'Leary which was way the hell and gone to the south west, accessible only through many, many, many fields of hay, potatoes, baled hay, cows, and trees. They had nice quilts there that were priced in Persian rug territory. They also had a drugstore so I bought some aspirin. <br><br>That evening we attempted to broil pork chops in the cottage stove without success, but the home ...

<br> September 19, 2009<br> We arose Saturday AM to learn that our fellow B&amp;Ber&#8217;s were also from Red Deer - Rod &amp; Lorraine M. - retired teachers who have bought rental properties in Charlottetown. Once again, a lively conversation over a delicious French toast breakfast served by our calm, pleasant hostess.<br> It was a rainy day, but we we&#8217;re not letting that dampen our enthusiasm. We drove over to West Point of PEI where we were awed by ...

... t swim very well ! Anyway, I could envision it in the off-season and see myself walking along this beautiful seascape ! From here we went to Green Gables which was the home of Lucy Maude's cousins and the place that inspired her books. I loved the house and wanted it as my own - including the gardens ! PEI is well-known for its "Lobster Church Suppers" so we found a church fairly close called ST. Ann's and introduced my ...

... boats were grounded. We bought some souvenirs at the local gift shop and then headed to Hopewell. The fog was so thick that you coulcndt even see the water on the bay like we could the day before. It was like being on top of the clouds. Rude people walking through parking lots notwithstanding, it was veen more breathtaking than yesterday. The Hopewell Rocks was really one of the major items on my Things to See and Do List and certainly worth the priority ...

Decamped early in PEI and was rolling down the highway by 07:30 - another Irish day having to use the interval wipers. I saw a Bald Eagle miss a small squirrel for breakfast - they are such a beautiful bird to watch but not a very good hunter compared to smaller hawks. After paying my $40.75 to get off the island (akin to Monoploy get out of jail), I resumed meandering along the Acadian Coastal road heading north to Kouchibouguac ...

... Rocks. Our tour guide was great and picked us up at the B&B and dropped us off for the bus, and didn't even mind hauling our packs along on the trip. The rocks are amazing (search google for pics). Our guild talked non-stop the whole way from picking us up to dropping us off, all about the history of NB, the formation of the rocks, how the tidal bore works... everything! Very VERY worth the money to get a guided tour (Road to Sea Tours, in case you are planing a trip this way!)

... night.....yeah at least the tide didn't take us away. Nova Scotia is supposed to getting flooded right now. It is very wet in the Maritimes. Although the Acadian Village was closed the security guard offered a short tour. They have imported all original settlement building and have recreated a town that usually has actors dressed up and creating meals. Great place. We drive South ...

... Out in the distance, you could see huge craters in the floor holding trapped fish and sea life. When the tide came in you did not want to get stuck down here. It was awesome. http://www.bayoffundy.com/ New Brunswick is quite pretty. It is part of the Maritimes but it is also Acadien country.... The Acadians are the "other" Francophone community of Canada. They are also the people who settled Louisiana in large numbers at the ...

... others be?" We four Canada-trekkers slept cozily that night, in Don and Fern's yard in our tents or in the placebo. Whoops. In the morning, we Canada-trekkers received our second homemade breakfast in as many days on the road. Don prepared pancakes, he made lots of bacon, there were scrambled eggs and toast, there was tea, and even small potatoes. Mmm, wow! We even got showers. Don and Fern drove us to a desolate on-ramp, and we started hitching north up the ...

Edmunston passing by Renald's home; I liked the little village, they seemed all so friendly!<br><br>Stopping by Renald's home...Collette, New Brunswick, population 1200.<br><br>I enter the kitchen, under the stern watchful eye of who was to become my future mother in law. <br><br>She is neither friendly nor impressed! I suppose, looking back, Quebec's fashion, clothing, hair and make up, is ahead and very different than the comfy style, not so cosmopolitan, worn in small villages ...
