So because it was raining so hard we listened to the final chapter of an audio book we've been working on for three weeks - an hour. We looked hard for a place to eat lunch as many were closed for the season. We ended up at Harbor View grocery and cafe. Great local place with good fish and chips and lobster roll. One of the locals got up, picked up a guitar and played a well known Canadian song - it brought tears to one ladies eyes.
Went back to where we had taken pictures - 3 hours later. The tide was coming in fast and we could watch it. Chuck wanted Karen to stand on an area of rocks but by the time she got there it was surrounded by water. The water is very brown because of the immense volume of water that moves through the bay.
Drove aways further to some rock formations but the viewing area was closed for the season. We see "closed for the season" a lot but we both still are glad we came at this time.
Our room tonight is in Moncton, a city (and surrounding areas of nearly 140,000). Very busy place. Didn't want to drive anymore so walked about 4 blocks - including under a freeway - to a Tim Horton - had to try them once anyway. It is an eastern chain known more for their pastries and breakfast. There was a Super Walmart and BassPro on the way. In and relaxing by 6:30.
