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

Deleteof 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
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?
ReplyDeleteRichard:
Deleteeverything 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 . . .
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...
DeleteTranquility!
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me feel like I'm there with you.
Enjoy.
Robert:
DeleteYour time will come. Just a few more years according to your plan

DeleteI see lots of Spyders here and everytime I think of you. It's always something, you have time and no $$ . Just have to plan ahead and go for it
I hope you get the spectacular sunrise you've been waiting for.
ReplyDeleteDavid:
Deletebad 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 . . .
I am glad you decided to stay in a motel for the night to dry some things out.
ReplyDeleteBack 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.

DeleteIf 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
Yay! NOW I am REALLY jealous! :=)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful scenery and crossing into Canada where more fantastic adventure awaits you.
I am surely enjoying following along...
Rest well~
Deb:
DeleteThings 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
Wow! I am trip envious! Welcome home! Bob you are the only person I know that can make crocs cool.awesome pics!
ReplyDeleteDar:
Deletewished 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.
