New Brunswick Coast

Today we moved from the capital city of Fredericton to the coast of New Brunswick. We are now in the Bay of Fundy area, home of the world's highest tides. The area around Fredericton consisted of gently rolling hills and river valleys. We crossed into and through a landscape known as Maritime Acadian Highlands. The land rises abruptly from the sea and is covered with lush forests and deep valleys. This made for some interesting driving--very steep, winding roads that lead out of the forest and down to the fishing village of Alma.

Situated on the Bay of Fundy, this village has an small but interesting wharf area. We visited at low tide. I don't think these boats are going anywhere for the time being!
We want to go back at high tide and see if the boats are still there.


On our way back to our campground, we stopped by this little lighthouse known as Cape Enrage . It was a cute little lighthouse, but we thought the ones in Maine and Massachusetts were prettier.

Tomorrow we are going to explore some of this area. At low tide we will actually get to walk on the ocean floor. Should be very interesting, eh? (Don't we sound Canadian?)
