Back Home

This is the end of our fascinating, fantastic trip, as you can see we did not let the grass grow under us traveling 4,800 miles in 3 weeks and did not even scratch the surface. A "special thanks" to Lonna for her 2 pages of "MUST SEE" information saving us a ton of time going through all the other info we obtained. The Nova Scotia Doers and Dreamers booklet is a must. Sometimes it was overwhelming. And yes Larry and Emma there are Motels and a ton of B&B's all over. Till next time Love and God Bless....Dick, Brigitte and Lindsey........




This is Sunday and we got back home yesterday afternoon. Got everything back in one piece, (thank you Lord) and all of your prayers. Funny thing though on the last leg when we slowed we could smell something strong but could not figure out. Well, when I went to move the truck today it wouldn't start and the battery light stayed on. Checked it out and one of the 2 batteries blew up. It spit acid all over. Now I know what that smell was. I guess 6 years on a battery is enough.


Getting back to the last few days I did write about Mahoney Bay and Lunenberg. We also stopped in Saint John and saw the reversing falls and did a 2 hour bus tour of the town. Of course we checked out the water front and found a farmers market in the middle of town. Here are a few pictures.




Note the water flowing from right to left on the Saint John River. This was high tide at 10:22 in the morning. The other is more dramatic at low tide when the water drops 28 feet. Eighty miles down stream it drops 50 feet but we did not have time to go down there. Note the jet boat in the rapids. Looks like fun to me. He spun that boat around on it's nose. What a pleasure it was to have Lindsey along. She had the best time and I'm sure learned a lot, especially how big the country is. She spent a lot of time listening to music on her MP3 player and watching movies on her portable DVD player while on the road. Every night she would torment us with her love before turning in for the night. But all good things must come to an end until the next time. Hope you all enjoyed the blog and I do plan on keeping it open for awhile.
