To escape the heat

If anyone is touring coastal Maine this summer, please consider driving a bit further up to New Brunswick Canada.....see the town of Alma and the Bay of Fundy where you can walk "on the bottom of the sea" at low tide....the lowest tides around.

Please keep scroll down on this link.........for photos of low tide.

..........and then proceed to NOVA SCOTIA....one of the Canadian Maritime provinces and one of our very favorite, next to Prince Edward Island.

In Nova Scotia.......be sure to overnight in Lunenburg.....

After touring N.S., take the car ferry over to P.E.I......gorgeous little island. For those of you who read "Anne of Green Gables" to their children, you can see her house.........picturesque island filled with charm.

As I type this note, I am sitting 75 ft from the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world, 45 ft, twice per day. This is where we live when we are not in the Villages. The place we live in is called Port George which is right on the 45th parallel.

Been there; I'll second that!

Just got back, in fact went to PEI too.

Have spent many an August day in PEI. Great place to visit. Kinda out there in the middle of no where and if you take the bridge back it'll cost ya. Most expensive toll bridge I've ever been on for sure. Think is was $25 or $30 a car last time I was there. Might me more now.

Just read all of the above emails..........wish I was back in all of those places you mention.....but this year it's family reunion time in Maine.

Looks and sounds like a place I'd really like to visit. Maybe next year. Thanks for posting.

It was $59 with the RV, about $35 for a car, but only one way

you get the idea that perhaps once you cross they don't want you to come back.

The one time we took that Confederation Bridge was "off" of Prince Edward Island back to New Brunswick.....heading back to Maine. New Brunswick has beautiful highways, well maintained and empty for the most part.

We didn't think it was a high fee for the bridge.......considering that if the bridge had not just been built.....we would have had to go all the way back to take the car ferry (which was a beautiful boat by the way) from Charlottetown to mainland Nova Scotia and then drive some more.

We took that ferry many times prior to the bridge's completion........
Enjoyed it very much........but the bridge was more direct. The fee was worth it.

Keep scrolling all the way down on this above hyperlink to see how the bridge appears from the P.E.I. side.
Then...keep scrolling some more. Now I want to go back to P.E.I. CAVENDISH BEACH was gorgeous and EMPTY.

What an engineering project it was.......
We love P.E.I. and had even thought of retiring there at one point....
