The day dawned lovely again. We packed the car and turned south to cross the Confederation Bridge that joins PEI with New Brunswick. That and the ferry we took the other night are the only means of getting to and fro. You must pay when you leave the island - so luckily we did it the right way - the ferry is $64 and the bridge was$47.
The trip across New Brunswick was unremarkable in the sense that we had no misfortunes,etc. It was a nice ride (for 9 hours?) and the topography was a lot like PA's I-80. We had a petrol/lunch stop in a homey diner and another spur of the minute decision to seek out Potato World. (It was a chance to change drivers, too.) Learned more about the potato (largest crop in Canada) and McCain's is the world's largest french fry producer. Florenceville is the home of the frozen french fry.
We regained our hour from the other day when we crossed back into Eastern Time just passed Edmunston, NB. We are now in the province of Quebec and my French is rusty but good enough for reading signs. (Danger - Moose!)(Work Zone)
We sought some sustenance and settled on a place called Normandin - a little like Perkins I think. The hostess picked up on the English right away and gave us English menus. The waitress, however was a little less clear. To level the playing field we ordered Italian - a meeting of the minds and an international crisis averted.
We are in the room, forgoing the pool or exercise room for a little extra rest. NyQuil here I come. Love to All....... Tomorrow down the St.Lawrence
