After arriving at the motel in Portland, we took a ride down to Kennebunkport. It was a tourist town with lots of people walking the streets. We enjoyed the visit.
Ronna's Recap:
Here we are at the end of our two week tour of NB, PEI, & Nova Scotia. Janet & I fly back to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon. We've had fun but we are ready to get back to our normal life again. Here are my thoughts on the trip using our five senses.
Sight: We saw some amazing sights, the flower gardens of PEI, the beautiful coastlines of PEI & NS, especially the Cabot Trail with the mountain climbs, and curvy roads, the tall ships in Halifax Harbor, many small old white churches, lots of green trees and miles of roads (some bumpy & remote) and blue skies & fluffy white clouds.
Sound: The French language especially in PEI, the quietness in the remote areas, the alarm going off way too early in the mornings.
Touch: The feel of a soft bed after riding for hours, that feeling of knowing God created all this!
Smell: The aroma of flowers along the roadside, the smell of good food at the cafes and restaurants, the not so good smell of farms and industry and sometimes roadkill.
Taste: All that good food we indulged in.
Highlights: The 8 mile Confederation Bridge to PEI was easy to cross going over - just seemed like a paved road going over water. Coming back it was rainy & windy and the bridge turned into a scary adventure. I loved the ride on Cabot Trail. The B&B's were all fantastic. One hotel was not exactly my cup of tea. The towns of Baddeck & Wolfville were very quaint with their outdoor cafes. I enjoyed the restaurant on Cape North on the water's edge. Did not enjoy the rainy days riding on the motorcycle! Biggest disappointment - not seeing a moose!
All in all, it was a good trip! It was fun to share the trip with Janet & Alan and riding behind Dave on the motorcycle. Great place to visit but would not want to live there - too remote! And I love the good ole US of A!!!!!
