Alma Mater

We have stopped for lunch in Alma, on the southeastern corner of Fundy National Park. The last couple of days were wet. After our stop in Baie-Comeau, we ferried across the St. Lawrence and spent the night in a cheap hotel in Matane, since it was dark and I really didnt feel like finding a campsite. Luckily, Matane had a Tim Hortons, so I was pleased. We spent most of Monday driving across New Brunswick seeing the sights and moving on towards Fundy.

In Fundy, we got in at around 3PM and did a 10k hike before dinner. The forests were unbelievable, but the views of the ocean were few and far between. Still, it was a worthwhile journey. This morning, we hiked to the beach, where the geology geek in me was amazed by all the different rocks that were there - phyllitic schists and conglomeratic sandstones. I was told that I had a geogasm, but if I did, it wasn't a very big one. :) We also got to see a waterfall along another hike.

Oh, I should mention that the fog was so thick last night I could see it swirling in front of my face. Luckily, it cleared up overnight and by morning, the tent and fly were completely dry. The inside of the car, though was pretty humid this morning.

PS I cant figure out this keyboard so thats why you arent finding a lot of apostrophes in my text.

Till next time.

We are off to PEI this afternoon.
