Fun in Saint John

This morning we had a wonderful tour of Saint John's via bus with a wonderful retired teacher as the tour leader. He was fun and knowledgeable - would have enjoyed being in one of his classes in high school!

The Bay of Fundy and the Saint John's river create a very different water action than I have ever seen before - it is called the reversing falls - the Bay of Fundy flows into the river and casues rapids and falls that reverse depending on the tide. At low tide the river's water tumbles into the bay's water and then the tide is high the water falls into the river - most interesting!

The birds and the seals arrive at the tidal change and feast!

Tuesday we traveled to Saint John

Yesterday's travels took us to Rockwood Park in Saint John, New Brunswick. This is a big city park that also has campsites along with golf, swimming and horseback riding. This is a port city and rather hilly. The Irving Oil Company is based here.

After arriving, Janet and I made a trip to Monkton to the Cosco for some badly needed supplies. We traveled 190 miles for the food and for a new computer printer for us. We got back rather tired for happy hour.

Bill went sightseeing with the other while we were gone.

Last night we ate at Billy's Seafood Restaurant - was great and we all had a great time.
