A picnic table near Point Wolfe. Fundy National Park. New Brunswick, Canada.
When we last left off, our intrepid hikers were at the Point Wolfe Beach in Fundy National Park. (In case you missed all the excitement — heh — previous posts from my trip to the Canadian Maritimes will be linked to at the bottom of this post.) Hiking is hungry business so M and I decided to have a picnic lunch before starting our next hike.

My first daytime viewing of the Bay of Fundy from the Cliffside Suites in Alma, New Brunswick.
When we started planning our trip to the Canadian Maritimes, M had the Bay of Fundy on his wish list of places to visit. I’d heard of it, but wondered if tides could be impressive. Most of my experiences with watching the tide come in or go out were at the Jersey (as in New Jersey) shore growing up. Our parents loaded us all into the station wagon early on a Saturday in August and off we went for two weeks of sand, sea, and sun. Being a person of the fair skinned variety, I suffered many a sunburn. Burn and peel were pretty much the norm for the first week. A good case of sun poisoning was not uncommon. After that I would develop my version of a tan which tends to be reddish enough to look like a sunburn. We didn’t have sunscreen in those days, and if I ever do see a dermatologist, I’m sure she will be shocked to learn I used the baby oil and iodine solution that was so popular in those days. Might as well have deep fried me. Heh.
Great Cormorants!

No escape
Greetings from Prince Edward Island! Even on vacation, the laundry must be done. I’ve also done some cooking, and washed more than a few dishes. It’s no great hardship. Sometimes it’s nice to have the luxury of a home cooked meal, especially when you’re traveling during the off-season and most of the good places to eat are not yet open.
Out and about

Bay of Fundy. Alma, New Brunswick, Canada.
I thought about titling this post “The thrill of traveling while ill,” but that hardly sounds like fun.
