“People Waiting” sculpture
A three hour ferry ride on the Princess of the Arcadia transported us from Digby, Nova Scotia across the Bay of Fundy to St. John, New Brunswick. Despite the rain, the ferry was a pleasant ride and went surprisingly quickly.
I stayed in St John for lunch and briefly saw their waterfront area. There are 4 decorative lighthouses on the waterfront, a Farmer’s Market ( which has been been open since 1876) and also John Hooper’s “People Waiting” art sculpture of wooden people in front of the Barbour’s General Store Museum. The Museum was closed ( on a Saturday?) so I didn’t get to see it. But the Farmer’s Market ceiling was interesting – it was built by a ship builder and is said to look like the inverted keel of a ship.
Then back in the car to the next destination – St. Andrews By The Sea.
