Lighthouse

Century Farm CG site 23

St Martins, NB

Last night we saw the campground worker guide a Montana fifth wheel into their site.  He wasn't in his golf cart...he was using a small car.  Why?  Because he was being smart, keeping drier, during the heavy downpour.  

The Montana owner sat in his truck for a while and then finally decided there was no way around it.  He was going to get drenched while setting up.  With a Florida license plate, Dad and Momma were interested in where they reside. Today we discovered they are full timers who just have a Florida license plate but don't live, never lived or even winter in Florida.

This morning our rig smelled like a bakery.  Momma used that wonderful flour that she loves but can only purchase in Canada

and made wheat bread.

One loaf was devoured before it even had time to cool... and I didn't even get a crumb!

While the rain stopped, I got to play ball before the two-legged headed out this afternoon.  Their first destination was the post office for Canadian stamps.  Post card stamps cost $1.30 each.  That's more than the post card cost!  The postal worker was very helpful with directions to the nearby lighthouse.

Auntie Carol called this lighthouse a utilitarian structure.  It looked interesting as we approached

But I don't think the boxy shape will win it any architectural awards.  And sitting behind it as we approached was the fog horn.

The surrounding area was beautiful and made up for the ho-hum lighthouse.

Smile for Auntie Carol....

Uncle Steve walked down by the point

to capture these scenes of the shoreline.

The question of the day:  is that a path made by humans or animals?

We drove by an interesting display

I'd say an old fisherman lives nearby.

As we approached the wharf, it was obvious that the tide was out.  The boats were sitting on their keels.

With the weather being damp and cold, it was the perfect time for another bowl of that delicious seafood chowder at The Caves Restaurant.  

Of course Momma would enjoy it even if it was boiling hot from the sun outside.  They serve the best chowder with the claim of 'world famous' with a tea biscuit on the side.  Better than crackers any day.  

With window seating, they enjoyed the meal while watching the boats returning after a day on the water.  The boats anchored off shore, waiting for the higher tide to roll in.

Tonight's game was Fast Track...after I went thru my sit, shake, down, stay routine in order to receive my Auntie Carol treats.  Would you believe they ending the evening with a tied up situation...2 wins for the guys and 2 wins for the gals?  They all were close games.  Just when one team could begin to taste victory, they would either get trounced on and sent home again or Jacked across the board ...and the game would continue.

Another foggy wet day forecast for tomorrow.  We may not be sitting outside under our awning, but we are still enjoying our time here.
