Fundy In The Funmobile

Arrived at Fundy National Park New Brunswick the evening of the 16th, (late due to the afore-mentioned flat tire).  First task of the morning was the drive back 40 km into Sussex to retrieve a new tire.  Small town tire repair shops on a Saturday morning are a thing of beauty. You meet intriguing and inspirational people... and get soaked for $256.  "Ain't that bad Eh.  You'll getcha' VAT back at the border."  I can't bitch since they did send a guy out on the road on a Friday night when he could have been out tippin' moose or whatever they do here for grins.

Then back again 40 km to the park an another 5 km to the town of Alma.  Drive to town was impressive. A long windey/windy road down the mountain overlooking the Bay of Fundy,

The town is primarily a fishing village which also services the park visitors.  Restaurants are generally seafood caught by local fishermen ... when they can get in the water.

For the historical record, August 17th 2013 is our 45th wedding anniversary.  The extended period of this relationship I owe entirely to Valerie's endless patience.  She's still working on that "diamond in the rough" and hopefully won't carve it all into little pieces before she get's it like she wants it.

Our normal anniversary dinner is to go to Catch 35 in Chicago for a romantic, high end seafood dinner and an evening stroll along the Magnificent Mile.   Since Alma does not have Catch 35, I took her for lunch to Alma's finest seafood establishment instead.

I did however whip up a later evening snack of Brad's (now world) famous eggs over easy to make up the loss.

Good Night From Fundy
