Last week we left off near the dunes in Greenwich. As I mentioned, the dunes are parabolic dunes. They move. Strong, unidirectional winds cause the dunes to migrate.

Standing near the edge. North Shore, near Rustico, Prince Edward Island.
I left us standing near the edge of the red cliffs of Prince Edward Island in my last chapter of Thursday Travels. It’s not a bad place to be left for a while, to contemplate life, the universe, the gulf, and everything.

I had to post at least one photo of the Canadian flag since I took several while we were touring the Canadian Maritimes. This one is from Fundy National Park, taken after we hiked to Laverty Falls and visited Laverty Lake.

Do you remember these stairs? Go ahead and look if you need to refresh your memory. We’ll wait.
Thursday Travels: Let’s go to the beach

Point Wolfe. Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada.
If you were here last week, you may recall that I took you as far as the bottom of the stairs on the hike M and I took to Point Wolfe in Fundy National Park. (If you don’t recall it, or you missed it, you’ll find the link at the bottom of this post). This is the beach at the Point Wolfe River Estuary.

Demoiselle Beach
I mentioned in my Hopewell Rocks post that M and I explored the area while we were waiting for low tide. Behind the Hopewell Rocks Interpretive Centre is a trail that leads to Demoiselle Beach. It’s a lovely, sandy, and very quiet area (at least while we there — the family you see in the above photo left shortly after we arrived, the children having obviously enjoyed the mud). The beach is framed by rock formations on one end and a salt marsh on the other.

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.
