Thank you Canada........

Hard to believe, but tonight is our last evening enjoying the Canadian hospitality.   We have a new appreciation for the beautiful Maritimes, of which we knew nothing except the names of the provinces and a general location on a map.    We've found the population to be generous, courteous and just plain nice......and this includes the youth.    The scenery is unparalleled and offers a richness of outdoor experiences.    Everything was clean and tidy, the food was delicious and fresh, the crafts were old-fashioned and the weather was perfect.    We give it all a TEN+.....   

And so, we arrived at St. Andrew By the Sea, a cute, quaint village on a peninsula  in the Bay of Fundy and  one of the oldest towns in New Brunswick.    This is our view out the front window.

 It's hard to get a picture of the Main Street with all the cars in the way.

 I don't use a tripod when out and about so flowers tend to be fuzzy.....but I like the color of these nasturtiums in a flower box.  

 These hanks of yarn announced a lovely yarn shop next to the bay.

The beach roses are all but done but the rose hips are huge...about the size of crabapples.

We are leaving but not forgetting.    Next stop will be Bangor, Maine and back to full use of our cell phones and cheaper gas .    Everything is very expensive up here.    I got a haircut today and the 30- somethings in the shops said they go across the border to shop to save money.  
We've heard horror stories about going back across the border.   We had no problem coming this way but just in case, we've pared down the fruits and veggies (not allowed), haven't purchased any mutton to put on the grill and smoked or drank all the good stuff.      We'll call if we need bail money.
