Fundy -Boats on mud after low tide

We have travelled North from Boston through New Hampshire and Maine back into Canada. We crossed into New Brunswick. We stayed at a Park in NB which is right on the Atlantic Ocean and has the most amazing tides in the world. The tides change every six hours from really high down 18 ft at low tide. It is something to see. We have pictures of rock tops on the water and then a few hours later you can walk on the ocean bottom and the rocks are large formations on the sand. The scenery and terrain has changed. It is now hilly and there are fir and hemlock trees. It also has a lot of farmland. We travelled today to Peggys Cove in Nova Scotia. We are camped right on the rocks beside the famous lighthouse. We arrived here this afternoon and Ed went into the Visitor’s center and asked where is the nearest campground. They said we could stay right here. So here we are with two other units with the whole place to ourselves. We are right on top of the ocean. Good thing no storm is predicted tonight or we would be blown away. We have been very lucky with the weather. They said it has been very foggy and rainy right up until yesterday. Tomorrow is supposed to only be cloudy but we will be leaving anyway as Ed has a place in mind he wants to go fishing and I want to see some of PEI. We are moving quite quickly right now as we want to get to Ottawa for July 1st celebrations. Must go now as we are off for a Lobster dinner at the Lighthouse restaurant. Yum!
