"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Last days in Canada

 We departed Cape Breton on a Tuesday morning, headed for Amherst Shores provincial park. Our least favorite stop of the entire trip. A wooded campground about a mile from a muddy beach. Nothing much else worth visiting in the area. Just a stop about halfway back to the border.




After three nights we decided to leave a day early and stop at another Harvest Host. A rum distillery in the town of Sussex. A really nice overnight stop.

The following morning was the day of our border crossing. We made our last visit to Tim Hortons. Really miss that place.



On our first evening in Canada we were in St George, NB. We visited a local eatery named the Pub on Main, and we all three had fish n chips. They were absolutely delicious. We probably ate fish n chips over a dozen times afterwards, and always compared them to the Pub on Main. None measured up, and we begin to wonder if they tasted so good just because of the excitement of starting our real journey. We made a plan to stop there for lunch before crossing back into the USA. We did just that with all three of us ordering fish n chips. They were just as good. Absolutely the best of the trip.


From the Pub, it was to the border crossing.  A non-event, actually.  A nice lady asked a few questions,  we answered,  and were welcomed back home. We drove another twenty five or so miles to the village of Lubec, Maine. Two nights there in an old school rv park.
