Alma, New Brunswick (day 2)

Had a beautiful day yesterday, with clear blue skies and temperature about 25C (77F). Went for a 7.5 km (4.7 mile) hike in the morning, and then another walk around the third National park campground in the afternoon.

Nice scenery in Fundy National Park...





And, we met another one of our blog readers!

So we're walking back to Sherman later in the day. Crossing the street near the lobster shop, we see an RV heading our way, and the driver is yelling and waving at us. He stops and we walk over, and he says "I know you guys!".  Turns out he's been reading this blog every day for a year and a half or so!

He suggested we sit and have a beer together. Unlikely that I would turn down an offer of a beer, so I said "why not?" and they pulled their rig over into the parking lot where we set out the lawn chairs and had a drink and a chat for an hour or so.


Susan and Reiner

Reiner, his wife Susan, and Rocco the bulldog are from Calgary, Alberta and have driven their class C motorhome, towing a motorcycle trailer to explore the Maritime provinces on an extended vacation. They were hoping to bump into us in Nova Scotia, but when they read we were leaving early they thought they might miss us. However they took the American route heading into New Brunswick, so they knew they would likely see us while we were parked in Alma.

We love meeting our readers! It's kinda strange though, makes us feel like we're world famous or something. Well, we have readers from all over the world, so maybe we are world famous! Anyhow, thanks for making the effort to flag us down Reiner, we enjoyed meeting you and Susan!

In the evening, we watched a few reruns of Hogan's Heroes, then went to bed. We got up early this morning and have already driven a couple of hours and hope to cross into Maine this afternoon. It will feel good to get back in the USA!

    Looking forward to your Maine entry.

  4. Welcome back!! I so enjoy all of your excursions. Looking forward to the pictures. Will post pictures when we get started. We bought the vinyl tiles today, but it is much too hot to do any serious work on ripping the carpet up. 110* heat index today. Stay safe.
