Saturday September, 29, 2012 ( part two)
I had to throw all of my clothes away so these would fit in my suitcase.
The resort coastal village of St. Andrews By The Sea was the next destination. The highways in New Brunswick are two lane. The fall colors are striking, though not nearly at peak I am told. I also quickly notice that New Brunswick is clearly French Canadian. The highway and street signs are in both English and French, as are menus, tourist booklets, etc, etc. It is common to hear people speaking French or if they are speaking English, many times it is with a French accent.
The 200 year old town of St. Andrews is attractive with its well-kept old homes and churches. I found it easy and interesting to walk . The water front area has an active wharf, shops , several restaurants and whale watching tours. It was low tide and while all the dinghies are tied up at in the wharf, the larger boats were anchored in the deeper water. Fog was rolling in added a new perspective to the town.
Tomorrow I head for St. Martin and Alma.

Love those colorful fishing boats.
