Continuing East

We really enjoyed our stay at Moose River Campground. It was a lovely stream and we found it very refreshing.




















Our visit with friends on Mount Desert Island in Maine was delightful as usual. We found time to explore the Acadia National Park even further than we had on previous visits.



















One of our prime destinations was Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy. It lived up to all our expectations ---and more!
Friends delivered us to the Hole in the Wall Camp which we found to be quite wonderful. There is nothing like enjoying a cool beverage as one looks out over the Bay of Fundy from the side of a sheer cliff. That describes both Top K and Top B campsites which we enjoyed.

Our trip on the sailing ship the "Elsie Menota" of Whales and Sails was a great adventure. We saw 5 different types of whale and thoroughly enjoyed our day.
The entire crew was just super and we loved the fish chowder.













Following Jim's interest in the Acadian Culture, we followed the Evangeline Trail around the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. Yes, we did read Longfellow's epic poem. I found it much more interesting than I had imagined.

We found the point of deportation which I found to be very touching. So easy and yet so difficult to imagine the despair.
