17 July
Today is the first day of a 2 week jaunt up through the Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick [@fundybrian’s neighborhood], Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.) Our first night we’ve just stopped over about 30 km from the US-Canadian border.
Here’s a fish ladder on the Magaguadavic River.
If you look down the gorge you can see abridge crossing the river. Here’s a view from that bridge lookin back up the gorge at the dam where the fish ladder is.

Oh yay, we’re going on a road trip with you!
What she said!!!!
Unfortunately we had a really bad internet connection the first 3 days where it was nearly impossible to upload any photos. Today I have no Wi-Fi but my cellular connection is okay.
18 July
The Welcome Center in New Brunswick.
St. Martins, our first view of the effects of low tide in the Bay of Fundy.
Our lunch stop
View from the restaurant deck. The people on the beach are walking towards some caves to the left that are only accessible at low tide.

Maybe the same bay that Brian used to take us around in his kayak. It’s a beautiful part of the world.
It is exactly the same bay. We spent three nights in Alma, where Brian lives.

I have taken a two week hiatus because either we had no Internet, bad Internet, or very minimal bandwidth. We are back home so I will try to catch up.
19 July
mercifully, we only had one rainy day on our trip. After the rain stopped we took a walk into the waterfalls in Fundy national Park. It was in a beautiful moss covered glen.
Later in the day we drove to a lighthouse, but didn’t go in because there were gale force winds and it was totally fogged in. On the way we ran by a stony beach that was covered with hundreds of cairns.

Today we went to Hopewell rocks, a series of rock columns that are totally exposed at low tide. People walk on the ocean floor through and around the stone formations. At high tide, you can kayak around the same formations. We were scheduled to go kayaking but the outing got canceled due to the strong winds.
this is looking out to the Bay of Fundy, where you can see the expansive mud flats when the tide is out.
Down amongst the rocks themselves.

Those rock columns are amazing. And I can see a slitty-eyed face in the first one, looking up and to the right.
I see it. The jaw/hairline is a fortuitous lens flare.

We spent most of the day driving from New Brunswick to Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. The only pics I took were at dinner, sitt out on the bistro’s back lawn looking out at the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Our nicely inked waitress.
After dessert, looking over to Chèticamp Island.

We took a walk along the Skyline Trail
Here’s the view looking back at the road to the trailhead.

Took a walk up the Chèticamp River. The view from our lunch spot.
On the way home we stopped to cool our feet.
The beach rocks were amazing.

What a trip. It all looks wonderful.

We had to leave Cape Breton early in the morning to go to a different part of Nova Scotia. This little guy wanted to hitch a ride.
We drove to Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage site. I quote
“The Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a palaeontological site along the coast of Nova Scotia (eastern Canada), have been described as the “coal age Galápagos” due to their wealth of fossils from the Carboniferous period (354 to 290 million years ago). The rocks of this site are considered to be iconic for this period of the history of Earth and are the world’s thickest and most comprehensive record of the Pennsylvanian strata (dating back 318 to 303 million years) with the most complete known fossil record of terrestrial life from that time. These include the remains and tracks of very early animals and the rainforest in which they lived, left in situ, intact and undisturbed. With its 14.7 km of sea cliffs, low bluffs, rock platforms and beach, the site groups remains of three ecosystems: estuarine bay, floodplain rainforest and fire prone forested alluvial plain with freshwater pools. It offers the richest assemblage known of the fossil life in these three ecosystems with 96 genera and 148 species of fossils and 20 footprint groups. The site is listed as containing outstanding examples representing major stages in the history of Earth.”
Of course I forgot to take any pictures
. There were in fact fossils everywhere, but small, and mostly of roots a bits of tree trunks.
Here’s the Fossil Center, which because of its proximity to the cliffs will slide into the ocean in 30 or so years.

On the road again, from Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island. We broke up the drive by stopping at a waterfowl preserve.

IOTM WInner - April 2022
My other choice for this weeks colour theme was 'shot through' so this would have been a definite!
27 July
We spent the morning walking around Charlottetown. PEI is the home of the author of Anne of Green Gables, so there is lots of stuff related to the author in the book. There is an ongoing musical in Charlottetown of Anne of Green Gables. Here are two actors on their morning break.
In the afternoon we kind of ambled around by car to look at some of the countryside. Here is a typical agrarian scene.
Of course, there are more lighthouses.
We were fortunate that the weather was so nice. We basically chose our restaurant so that we could eat outside every night, soothing our Covid anxiety somewhat. Waiting for dinner at the brew pub overlooking the North River, one of three rivers that empty into Charlottetown harbor.
