the official name became Moncton. Interesting history having first been founded by the Acadians who were expelled from New Brunswick it was then reinhabited by a group from Pennsylvania 10 years later. The town motto is "I rise again"
Although New Brunswick as a province is not showing much growth- Moncton continues to grow as a business hub.

We cycled along the Petitcodiac River (also known as the Chocolate River)which borders both Moncton and its neighbor Dieppe. Great ride and lots of families out enjoying the trail.

We also witnessed the Tidal Bore phenomenom which is another symptom of the huge tides in the Bay of Fundy.
The force of the tide causes a wave to travel up the river - twice a day- its big enough to surf in and there was a surfer today. Crazy
water!

We had lunch downtown at a microbrewery
The Pumphouse. Then wandered through town
A beautiful church -1881

The water events in that part of the country are amazing! What a spectacular place and the weather (based on your pictures) seems to be cooperating.
ReplyDeleteWe have been pretty lucky with the weather for sure Eileen- Not super warm but minimal rain :-)
