Day 7 & 8: Fundy National Park, Antigonish, NS

The first place we went in Canada was Fundy National Park (New Brunswick) home of the highest tides in the world. We stayed at an adorable chalet (with separate beds!!). 


The next morning we went on another hike, which was good, but very foggy so it was hard to see the views (pictures below). It's just as well, since no place I've ever been can compare with the views from the tops of mountains in Acadia National Park. It was also very cold, and I did not dress appropriately, so I made Mom stop so I could put on jeans in a very smelly outhouse. It was worth it.



We left and went to Cape Enrage, home of the Cape Enrage lighthouse. You know that it's bad when you get out of the car and the tour guide asks if your dog has a sweater or something he can wear. Fortunately, he did. It was a cool lighthouse, and if we come again I would like to sign up for the ziplining you can do from the top of the cliff. You can also repel down the cliff, but I'm afraid that takes some experience.




Latish that evening we arrived at the Sea'scape cottages near Antigonish, NS. The lady who runs the place asked me to tell my friends about it, and the cottages were lovely, so I'm happy to do so. We got there just in time to see the sunset from the balcony.

  1. I missed some days to comment and feel remorseful because of the Gilmore Girls business. I will go back and respond, even though it's out of sync, time-wise. Anyway, I think it's okay to point out that, when tiny and difficult to see, this photo of your mom hunkering under a rock looks a lot like Quentin. Also, I want to mention that, when I hike in other states, I realize why hiking is a hobby. Georgia hiking is maybe less picturesque, comfortable, etc. Glad to have an opportunity to follow along on your trip!
