NEW BRUNSWICK

 First campin' spot on the mainland of Canada!  It served us well.
 We were in the Fundy Bay area for what seemed like forever! That's a big bay! Figured we better take at least one picture to prove it.
 We loved the name of this town. We couldn't get over how awesome this word is.
 This is Kung Oo, South Korean bicycle tourist.  Quite funny-- we had stopped on this bridge going through Saint John (a big city) because we saw signs and things highlighting this sight, "Reversing Falls."  The phenomenon was neat, we were watching it on one side, just about to go to the other side, we looked over and here was this biker taking a picture of us, so Keith raised the camera and took a picture of him. We walked across and talked to him.  Pretty cool, he is touring by himself, about 80 miles a day, started in San Francisco, CA and biked all the way here to the East Coast, and is turning around a biking back across to Vancouver!!!  We were humbled! Hahaha  He is doing almost the same route we are up the Maritime Provinces so we may run into each other again!
 Campsite on a grassy patch out of sight of the road, between a flooded lake and some train tracks.  Pretty tired after a 55 mile day... this was our first uninterupted day of biking, bodies getting used to it gradually..
 Crossing beneath an old covered bridge in the countryside. This is Mary and B-rad.
 Farms everywhere in this part of New Brunswick. Beautiful ones. GREEN grass everywhere you look!!

 Though hard to capture, this little "village" we passed was so picturesque.  It looked as though nothing had changed since the 50s and much was older than that.  What a nice peaceful place to live.

 I had to put this picture on here.  I love it so.  I can't remember what Keith was doing exactly, but he just looks so happy : )


 Weeee. 
If you look Really hard, you can see the bridge from NB to Prince Edward Island--the longest of its type in the world.  It was a pretty amazing sight and quite a releif to see after this 77-mile day push to get there.
