Wednesday - August 29

Our last day in Canada could not have been more perfect......we are at
St. Andrews-by-the-Sea and it is the most charming little town on Passamaquoddy Bay off the Bay of Fundy.    Just the name of it sounds so neat plus our oldest grandson is Andrew (right on Judy B about this little gem)!

It was 53 this morning when we got up, so decided too darn chilly to exercise.    We took off for St. Andrews (about 60 miles from Saint John).    We are at the Kiwanis Oceanfront Campground and have beautiful view of the water.    When we got here, the water was right up to the rocks across the road.     It was a spectacular day - 70, sunny and breezy with a hint of fall in the air.     We got the exercising out of the way, took off for downtown on our bikes and checked out the town (I did that....Mark came back to Daisy).    How I wished my "shopaholic" family/friends could've been here - sooo many neat shops and eateries in such an old-timey setting with beautiful flowers galore!    The air is sooo fresh!
 
Met Mark and we rode our bikes to Niger Reef for delicious lunch overlooking the Bay.   I shopped more in the afternoon and then enjoyed some pampering...
manicure and haircut!

The Niger Reef
 
Back to Daisy and whoaaa......water is gone.   The tide has gone out and there is mud bottom and rocks for at least a 1/4 mile - unreal!!!

Where the water should be
Pretty view from Daisy

After supper we rode bikes around town and also walked our rocky beach.    When we get up tomorrow, the water will be back!

Mark's Mother had a new pacemaker installed today and all went well!!!

We've been in Canada almost one month - loved it!!!   Tomorrow we are back in the USA!!!

So glad you enjoyed St. Andrews. We just loved this little village with all the neat shops and places to eat. Vernette and I bought a glass fish from one shop that had a glass blower's wares. We had seen his work all over and wanted a piece. Learned he was located just out of town and we stopped at his workshop to see him. I actually saw another color of fish that I wanted more than the one I had bought in town and he gladly swapped it for me. Glad to have you back in the USA. I guess you will stop in Maine for some touring on your return from Canada. Wish we were up there too for some of that GOOD LOBSTER. Have a nice day tomorrow and safe travels. Love, Judy
