We spent the afternoon driving the Fundy Trail, a recently developed walking path or driving path along the shore of the Bay of Fundy.  The views from the many observation spots was stunning!  Waves lapping the shoreline, reddish cliffs or rocky beaches curving all along the bay.  We could see Nova Scotia across the way at times but it was slightly foggy that day.
The sun came out and it was very warm as we drove, stopped, hiked to a viewing deck or walked down wooden steps to see a gorgeous waterfall.  A subtle evergreen scent mixed with the fresh ocean breeze reminded me of the west coast just a bit.  We snapped lots of pictures with our Canon and our cell phones!  Yup!  We looked and acted  like tourists!
At the end of the developed road  (the trail is continuing to be extended to loop around to the area of the Hopewell Rocks on the end of the Bay of Fundy), we parked in an almost empty parking lot and walked a ways to a beach.  The wind blew off the salt water and we watched the tide come in.  Amy and I walked up to the water and then kinda stepped back as the waves came in closer than we expected and got our ankles wet!  I gathered a few shells.  Always have to bring home shells from a "real beach".
We drove back along the same route.  An information centre had snacks and souvenirs so we stopped there and also watched the video presentation on the history of the area and the development of the Trail.  We got back to the same main beach where we had walked on the beach and explored a cave.  Being two hours later, the tide had risen and there was no way we could get inside that cave!  Such an intriguing concept, the tides, to us prairie chickens!
We ordered some fish and chips (I had shrimp and potato salad) and ate on the deck of the restaurant facing the beach.  An ideal first day in Atlantic Canada.

                         By the time we drove back to Hampton, it may have only been 7 pm Saskatchewan time, but this old couple was ready to go to bed (10 pm EST).  We had no trouble adjusting to the new time zone!
