Bay of Fundy

We began the day by going to 9am mass at a church near the university.  We find it interesting to attend mass in different countries.  When Joe and I go to Canada, we often talk about what are the real differences between Americans and Canadians.  In today's bulletin at the church there was this statement, "Over the past few weeks we have been publishing items concerning the upcoming new Sacramentary that will be introduced in parishes. . . . The one thing that you will note, especially for those who watch EWTN and other American channels, is that things will be a bit different here in Canada than the US."  So---I guess the differences between the two countries show up in many ways.

After church and breakfast, we headed to the New Brunswick museum to get a better understanding of the area.  It was a lovely museum; however, it would be best visited on a snowy day in February.  After an hour we were anxious to see the real thing and not museum representations, so we left and headed to the Bay of Fundy Trail.  The pictures posted are from there.  The Bay of Fundy is like a big bath tub and the water flows in and out 52 feet each way from high to low tide.  We started our visit just after high tide and finished at low tide with a bowl of delicious seafood chowder on a deck overlooking the bay. Along the way we took a two hour hike admiring the magnificent scenery.
