New Brunswick/PEI picks posted

We got back from NB a couple weeks ago now. It was a good trip. I still think Mike and those guys are a little bit crazy, but I guess we'll see what happens :). We rented a car in Moncton and drove down to St. Andrews [by the Sea] where they're living and stayed for two nights. The people who own the land have this gorgeous house right on the water that we stayed at on the second night... mind you it was a bit freaky when kids music started blasting in the house at 12am and we were the only ones there.

At their farm house - Mike and Luke practicing their juggling.

We took Mike with us over to PEI for a few days to see Charlottetown and visit with some family. Turns out there's only one brew pub on the island, but we were able to find it.

While we were visiting we invented hockey puck bling, which I'm sure you'll here more about later :-). We decided to spend our last two nights in Moncton, which turned out to be a pretty nice city. We wanted to head down to the Hopewell Rocks. When we were here 3 years ago the tides were already climbing so we couldn't go out very far. But this time we had a tide chart... unfortunately, as we found out later, it was a 2005 tide chart. Oh well, maybe in 3 more years we'll get there at the right time. We drove a little futher to Alma, in Fundy National Park and found the great fish and chips place we ate at when we were here before. It was worth the ~4h round trip to get there and back.

We flew out the next day, only to realize the car company had fucked us. It was more than twice what we were quoted... but whatever, we won't be using budget again.

Oh yeah! And I've posted the pictures from the trip too.
