Sunday on Fundy Trail

Well it's Sunday. We set aside Sunday to go walk the Fundy Trail. It's about 10km outside of St. Martins and was one of the reasons we decided to come to St. Martins before heading into Nova Scotia.Ah yes, the Maritimes. If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes. It'll get worse! It was cool (much better for an 11km hilly hike. It was somewhat foggy. Tough to get good vista shots in the fog.But, every now and then a picture opens up that has a mood because of the weather.Of course, when travelling with Mary, one becomes aware of every rock or cloud formation that has a resemblance to something.See the face? If not click on the picture to make it bigger and see the face that Mary saw (no, not a ghost. Look at the rock) (I saw it too actually). It was really a beautiful hike. Long and very hilly and we're really tired now, but it was worth it. You don't see stuff like this

just on the side of the road. You gotta dig a little to get stuff like this. We're getting so woodsy. Yesterday I helped some kids save a stranded eel on the beach and today Mary stepped on a snake's tail (heck, they're all tail, but thatl's what she said). Walking through the trail kinda reminded Mary and me of when we were on the west coast visiting Linda. They are both a rain forest environment. The trees aren't as big, but everything's green and foresty.

Tomorrow we're off to Nova Scotia. Actually, it's just under 400km to Nova Scotia and I don't want to drive that far, so I think we're gonna stop in Moncton overnight and say "Hi" to Dad and Jean again (if they're home).
