Continuing east

On Saturday, we left Saint John, New Brunswick, to continue our journey, heading a little north and east.

We brought one of our outside tables inside to use for snacks while driving...

... unfortunately, the table does not refill the snacks!!!

Carl gave as his opinion that if we were going 110, we should get to our destination very fast! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), that's in KPH (kilometers per hour), and equates to about 68 MPH, and we generally keep Gracie somewhere between 62-64 MPH anyway. When you're driving something shaped like a brick down the road, the air resistance increases and fuel mileage decreases as you drive at faster rates of speed. Carl believes that Gracie's "sweet spot" is between 62-64 MPH.

As we came in to Nova Scotia, we stopped at the visitor center to pick up some brochures and get some information.

We found out that this area is "the land of Wild Blueberries"!









Miss Kitty was not overly impressed with Nova Scotia or wild blueberries, but she *did* like the sunshine hitting the front dash of Gracie as we continued along!

We're making our way through Nova Scotia toward Sydney, to catch the ferry to Newfoundland on Tuesday.
