Now the adventure begins! Today we will enter New Brunswick, Canada and spend the next couple of weeks in places we've never been before. First stop, St. Andrews. This is supposed to be the definitive, gentile seaside resort town.
The border crossing is mercifully easy. We are now in New Brunswick and in the Atlantic Time Zone, one hour ahead of Eastern.
We arrive at the Kiwanis Oceanfront Campgrounds..yes,the Kiwanis own it to support local community efforts. They've got one of the best pieces of property in town. Again, the view's the thing. No graceful ammenities here, but we're happy with our "oceanfront" site. It's actually Passamaquoddy Bay and it's fascinating. The tides are more extreme than Bar Harbor and the seagulls come into eat what the ebb has left behind.
We go into town to the grocery store, and while the town is quite charming, I highly recommend stocking up before you get here. The local grocery store isn't what we're used to and milk costs $6 a gallon. I get a steak for tonight and a few more things to tide us over if necessary. Rick needs to stop at the hardware store and it's then I discover a terrific little shop called the Spice Box which stocks fresh fish and much better looking meats. We'll stop back tomorrow and pick up one of those whole speckled trout.
