Sept 28... We depart from Quebec on our journey to reach Prince Edward Island by Tuesday. We again take the country roads following the St. Lawrence River as much as possible. This is a Drive day to get to our destination of Great Falls for the night. We see white geese flying in the sky and come upon a whole flock. It seems like hundreds resting along a sandy area along the river. We pull over get our binoculars out to get a better view and take pictures of the amazing and awesome sight of these beautiful birds on their trek to their winter home. We arrive in Great Falls and check into our room. It's Sunday and time to do laundry. That monopolizes our rest of the afternoon except for a nice dinner at a local restaurant. Nothing special but they actually offered brown rice.
Sept 29....We set out for our next destination which is Shediac, New Brunswick, the last stop before we go on to Prince Edward Island. It is windy, cold and overcast. This is the first day we have experienced such inclement weather. We check into a 2 diamond AAA motel. Not very many places to stay here and this one is not too great but it will have to do. We stop at the visitors center cause Shediac claims to be the lobster capitol of the world. Take a picture with the 50 ton 35 feet high " world's largest lobster" statue. It's so windy that the picture Arlen took will tell the story how the weather was. Have fish and chips, no lobster on this menu , for dinner. This is a summer resort town so a lot of the businesses are seasonal and have already closed at this time.
