Rain

It is raining this morning - just sprinkling really. Nonetheless, we decided to forego our morning walk and hit the road destined for Moncton. We stopped in Truro and did a walkabout. You could have heard a pin drop so seriously does this town regard Labour Day. We stopped at the City Library, formerly the Normal School. In Sackville NB, we searched for a charming eatery and found the Cranewood Bakery, where I am sure you need to provide ID because no one there was over 20. Also, all the baking was eaten so we retreated to McDonalds. I am sure all the men reading have owned Stanfields underwear and that factory is a going concern in Truro - but not on Labour Day. En route, we drove through Oxford NS, which Johnny Harris visited on his show Still Standing - one of our favourite TV programmes on CBC. It is the Blueberry Capital of the World. We sped passed the Dorchester Penitentiary. And, finally landed in Moncton. David has given us the keys to his apartment ( while he and Natalia are in Aruba) and a very nice flat it is, right on the Main Street. This will be our jumping off point to Fredericton and Charlottetown.
