No wheels today



New Brunswick might be the last province most people want to visit.  BC has the mountains, PEI the beaches, Quebec and Ontario the culture (just joking about Ontario) but all that is here is Fredericton, Moncton, Edmunston and Saint John.  And this summer it has Amanda.  Saint John used to be a wealthy shipping port, home to Irving oil amongst others.  But with the demise of shipping a century ago, people seem to have abandoned a pretty city overlooking the ocean. If you ever make it here, be sure to check out the cool architecture and rockwood park, but skip the reversing falls.  Until it gets repopulated, there are wooden people all over town.  Walked around but didn't get into/onto a vehicle of any sort.  And for the first time, we stayed in the same place for 2 nights.  No packing up.  0 miles.
