We drove into St. John today. 
The downtown area is kinda nice, 
but I can see why Kristi said she didn't like the city. It's hilly and rocky. It's also a looks like it's seen better times, but it also looks like it's having a bit of a rejuvination. I've been in places I didn't like more than St. John, but it's not one of my favorite places. But I guess you have to give credit 
to a city that puts up a monument to their hometown beer (Moosehead). I didn't take many pictures in St. John 'cause I didn't see much I wanted to display. After we left St. John we went back to St. Martins. The tide was in so I took some pics of where we walked on the ocean floor yesterday. 
You can see the caves we walked in yesterday.
That point was where we walked around to get to that little bay I mentioned yesterday. I understand that every year some fools don't pay attention to the tides and have to swim out from that little bay to get back to the beach 'cause there's nothing but verticle walls in the bay. There's a really cool little park across the road from the beach. 
It's not a tidal pond. It's freshwater and dammed so it retains it's water. It has a step system built into it so the fish can get by the dam. It also had a little stage and seating area, so I guess they do concerts there occassionally.
Mary liked it so much she wore a different top than you usually see her in. There's a couple of covered bridges just by the park.
The park was just to the right of this covered bridge and the other covered bridge was just behind us. Actually, we can see the sea cave area from our campground.

Anyhow, when we got to this campground in St. Martins, the folks running the place informed us that the New Brunswick Antique Auto Association was having a rally/show at the park this weekend. Why go to a show, when the show's willing to come to you!
I took this pic from inside our trailer just to show we didn't have to go far to see the cars!
Lots of cool cars and trucks. The neat thing was that virtually all of these cars and trucks were driven, not towed, into the park. A lot of them even pulled their own little trailers. I've never seen so many little "Boler" trailers around. But the coolest was a 1951 Oldsmobile pulling a restored 1951 trailer! 
The car was beautifully restored. But having the trailer with it was way cool.

Today we're just gonna hang around the park, go see the cars, do some housework, etc. Tomorrow we're going to go walk the Fundy trail. On Sunday they run a shuttle bus so we'll only have to walk it one way, and they're having some sort of live concert at the far end (to us) of the trail, so it should be a neat day.
