Hello Maritimes!
A big part of the inspiration for doing this trip was to see the Maritimes. I've always enjoyed the people from these parts and I love the ocean. Well, I'm finally here! I've been in New Brunswick for a few days already and will actually be going over the bridge to Prince Edward Island later today. As soon as I crossed the bridge into Campbellton,NB from Quebec I could feel the difference in the air. Much of the northern coastline of New Brunswick, where I have been travelling, is Acadian. This means that the first language spoken is still french. There are a LOT of french speaking people in Canada. Bit of an eye opener for me, I'll admit. Anyway, New Brunswick has been beautiful. I've been sticking to the quieter roads right on the ocean and enjoying the smell and calm of the sea. Also, now that school is back in, the tourists are all gone (except me). That is nice. I'm in Shediac right now where I just stayed the night with my friend Sparky's parents (they call him Brian). They treated me to a delicious BBQ dinner when I arrived last night and made me feel right at home. Thank you Laurie and Lev!

Boy, miss a few days of reading about your trip and you are already in the maritimes !! Sounds like Quebec is a nicer place than people are lead to believe. Glad to see and read that you are doing good. Happy pedaling, Blaine :)
