Last time I wrote we were about to leave Vermont and head into Canada. That didn’t happen, this did!
Our only way off the property was washed away that morning. We had the tail end of Hurricane Beryl dump 200+mm of rain overnight. The culvert probably would have handled it, what it couldn’t handle was the beaver dam above breaking and taking it out.Fortunately our friend Sophie got on the phone early and got a contractor before the hundreds of others who were in similar situations. (They didn’t have an rv full of NZers on the wrong side of the ditch though!)Freedom! Only 2 days later
The kids were happy, they got to go catch frogs
Had a wander through old Quebec city. Charlotte not impressed about all the walking!Must be something good in there!When driving though Vermont I pointed out to Jo an old covered bridge “like you sometimes see on the movies”. When driving in New Brunswick we came along this. Only to turn around because we’re too heavy. A good reason to have a walk.In Moncton NB we caught up with Zach, a guy I met in Gautemala 20 years ago. He runs his family’s winery and gave us a tour. And let us stay a couple nights too of course.Zach’s pet project of sparkling wine.Our tastings begin! We even had some maple wine.The bay of Fundy, home of some of the highest tides in the world and lots of red mud.If tides aren’t to your liking, there’s good weed! Is Canada after all!Back to the WineryGreat to see Zach, but time to visit Anne of Green Gables Island…I mean Prince Edward Island. Not a great day to see the Confederation bridgeOur first Light houseWhen Google sends you to the wrong Anne of Green Gables house! Some of the inspiration for the books came from here. L M Montgomery visited here and was married here at her cousins house. Fortunately we had listened to 20+ hours of Green Gables before coming! After being Anned out we went to a double header drive in movies. And stayed the night! Finished at 1am Unfortunately rvs had to park at the back. When all the families had left after Dispicable me I got us closer. We parked sideways so we could lie in bed and watch.Our first swim in the Atlantic Ocean, I’m sure Anne swam here too…..probably…maybe…Our final lighthouse before leaving Anne’s Island on the ferry to Nova Scotia Last year In Social studies George’s class watched Titanic over two classes. Apparently that is what counts for education these days. I took him to the Halifax maritime Museum and showed him the Titanic! Well, parts of it anyway! Nice spot to stay the night just 5 minutes from Peggy’s cove.Complete with frogging! The lighthouse! Peggy’s CovePhoto got clipped,tried to show the between the lobster trucks heading across from Nova Scotia back to New Brunswick. We will head down across the border into Maine today.
