It’s been two weeks since I posted a road trip update and I have no excuse for the delay. I’ve just had trouble getting motivated! I can’t blame a lack of time either, because we’ve been home for a week. When I last checked in here (I’ve been posting rather consistently at Road Warrior Momma) we were having the time of our lives in Bar Harbor. I miss it, but I have more places to tell you about.
After Bar Harbor, we drove north to Canada. Moncton, New Brunswick was our home base for our Canadian exploration. Driving through New Brunswick was pleasant. The countryside is beautiful, although somewhat desolate. Moncton is nice, much smaller than I had imagined. We stayed on the outskirts of the city, about five miles from downtown. On our first night we had a late dinner because we were very confused about what time it was (long story that you can read about here). We were also a bit surprised by the significant surcharge that was added to our check by the Canadian government. After inquiring, our server told us, “We have lots of things to pay for in Canada.” Okay.
