Relaxing in Pocologan, NB

The skies turned bright and the rain stopped


we were heading to Eastport, ME and the Canadian border crossing at Calais, ME


Eastport is the easterly most town in the Continental USA


This pier and statue are on the main street in the center of town


The Historic Downtown area is about 6 blocks long


boats in the harbour


After snapping a few photos we finallly arrive at the Calais, ME border crossing


and we lose another hour.   We are now 4 hours ahead of Vancouver on Atlantic time


I stop to put my documents away, and this sign is overhead


the decision was made to dry our camping equipment and enjoy a view of the ocean


We are hoping that the fog will disappear for a morning sunrise


a quick stroll on the beach in fading light, but you can hear the waves in the background


Pink Crocs are also enjoying some time in the sun

  1. Welcome back to Canada. Great beach shot with the sea grasses with the tide out.

      of course I had to get the female officer with attitude and lots of questions but she loosened up as we were talking. Karen got through fast, and wondered what happened

      too bad we didnt get here earlier to enjoy time on the sundeck

  2. Nice view of the ocean from your deck. And you have a grill to roast another lobster! Does it feel better to be back in Canada?

      everything is cheaper in the USA. Didn't have Lobster yesterday, went for my favourite, Salisbury steak and carmelized onions

      More Lobsters coming in Shediac and PEI. Karen got the name for a place the locals go for AYCE Lobster, can't wait . . .

    2. How far north and east do you think you are going to go? I've always wanted to visit this area but the opportunity never came up. One of these years...

      bad weather coming up. Big weather front moving in with severe thunderstorms. Right now it's sunny and the sunrise was covered by clouds

      wished you were here too . . .

  6. I am glad you decided to stay in a motel for the night to dry some things out.

    Back home in Canada but so different on the east coast.

    Great pictures Bob. The last one of your bike, your crocs and the blooming hosta is quite cute.

      If there was a way to pack up our tents in the rain and set up out of the rain then I think I would prefer to camp. It felt funny to be spending the money for a room, but we did have a nice view of the Bay of Fundy

      Yes, the views of the ocean are similar but different

      Things are much more expensive here in Canada than in the USA. I have always wanted to come to Atlantic Canada. Everything looks different in a neat way

      wished you were here. Around 7,500 kms to get here and then I have to ride back.

      You're right, can't leave home without my Crocs.
