Nyet doggie



the reversing falls in St John, NB are just downstream of the huge Moosehead brewery. Downtown is old, with green squares and fantastic brick and stone facades marching down the hill to the harbor.  Cargo ships lay at anchor on the horizon in the bay of fundy. They leapt to prominence in the slanting rays of evening sun.

Crossed into Maine, the USA, at Calais. Border guards looking for fruits and hard liquor. "What's the weather like in Oklahoma? Be sure to visit east bay."

Visited East Bay (the easternmost city in the country. And St Andrews (lighthouse pictured on distant spit below). We followed low tide along the coastal drive.




Spectacular suspension bridge over the Penobscot Narrows.  Wish I could tell you where.



Belfast, Me. Lobster on the wharf just like you always knew it could be.

We stopped in Portland for lunch today at a diner on the wharf. Found a very old Unitarian Church and relaxed in their gardens.

Next stop shb to take cross sound ferry to orient point, long island and stay on south shore, but we couldn't find lodging that didn't say nyet doggie. So it's the I-95 corridor for us. Boston tomorrow.
