It's been a big week

I almost don't know where to start. So much to see and do, but we don't want to exhaust ourselves right out of the gate. So let's see. Cape Enrage was closed for the season. Parlee and Aboiteau beaches. Drove past lots of beaches with signs like "No Trespassing, or variations on Private, or  Keep Out." We spent a day in PEI, mainly on Thunder Cove beach. Magnetic Hill winery is awesome. Linda got her phone fixed by ditching Speakout and their endless problems, and signed up with Telus. Same phone number, if you know it, and better service. Hopewell rocks is stunning and amazing. Totally a must see. Plan for low tide. The food in the cafe was the best so far on the trip.

Back to Bouctouche for Linda, (there's a reason for that, but it's Linda's story to tell,) then up to Cap Lumiere, then Kelly's beach in Kouchibouguac national park. And no, don't ask how that's pronounced. I listen to people saying it, and my lips don't move the right way at all.  We did the tourista big lobster in Shediac. 

Cornhill Nursery for Linda. Third vault falls are lovely and worth the death march hike in. Take a wrong step and at best you'll die. At worst you'll just break something and have to crawl out. Then the next day was Laverty Falls, though Mrs Google led us down a series of snowmobile roads to a back way in, which is totally not the thing to do according to Parks Canada. We weren't the first. Plus we found the covered bridge over 45 river number 1 covered bridge. Totally by accident, and unintended. I read a blog by a guy that only found it on the third attempt.

And that sort of brings us up to date. I think. I'm keeping a trip diary, but it's the end of a very long day here, and this glass of wine is really good. What photos to show you? That's actually a really good question, since I know I want to take a look at the edits at home on the big monitor. I'll probably put off doing Image of the Month till we're back, since there's a number of photos so far that I think will make the podium, and I want to look at all of them again on the big monitor first.

Linda, happy on the beach after her adventure.

Lots more photos to come. Be patient.
