Hopewell Rocks

Today we had more rain and it was chilly and most of us got soaked! We don't think the temperature got above 63 today.

This morning we headed to a train museaum in Hillborough and enjoyed wandering around looking at the old train cars and the big train snow plows. They cooiked hot ogs for the visitors today so we had a free lunch!

At 1:30 we gathered for a tour at Hopewell Rocks and an explanation of the tides in the area and then we were led down to the "flower pots" which are the pictures I will put up for you to see. We were able to wander around on the floor of Fundy Bay since it was low tide.

Janet and I drove into Muncton to pick up some fried chicken for our scheduled picnic at the Rocks - we received a phone call while we were in the store telling us to return to the campground for the picnic - not to the park! Our "picnic" dinner was held back in the office area - just like last night but this time they had a fire going in the fireplace - it was delightful to roast the rear side!

Some went back to the park for high tide but I stayed back to do luundry, help clean up after the "picnic" and to otherwise stay warm and dry.

Tomorrow we head off for Prince Edward Island.
