Day 28 - Caraquet, New Brunswick


Hello Hello Hello!!  We are heading into New Brunswick which is more of an English speaking province so Good bye to French Quebec.  It is Wednesday, June 27th and another rainy foggy day.  I should have purchased a pair of hip boots for all the rain we've been through.  Haven't had too many sunny warm days to wear any of my sun dresses - darn..

As you will see by the pictures - some w/rain drops - I wasn't able to take too many pictures.  It was another day of traveling through the countryside - not too much along the coastline.  Even when we were by the water, couldn't see anything because of the fog. 


Nothing to exciting happening except for the poor people that owned the building that was on fire.  Even the rain didn't help them much.  The lighthouse is the color of the flag for NB.  They are a very proud people as we saw a lot of flags and even a house that was painted the same colors - a bit much I think.  Going through town, there were huge statues but I was only able to get a picture of the fish and by the heighth of the light poles you can see the size of the fish.  There are always little rivers and lakes along the way but we never have time to stop and cool off our feet in the water.



Looking ahead of us we saw very dark clouds and to the right of us, we saw the bright blue skies.  Needless to say, we drove into the rain but by the end of the day, the sun caught up with us - yeah!!!  You can see the reflection in the river. In every village there is always a church - some small and some very large.  Most of them have the little cemeteries next to them. 

Once we arrived to our campground and the sun was out, none of us wanted to go inside.  We had Happy Hour and enjoyed the evening outdoors.  We did notice that it is staying lighter later - didn't get dark until about 9:30.  Did have to call it a day as we had plans for a busy day ahead.  Night Now!
