Visit three new NB Cities (one down)


So I might be back dating this one a bit, but I am still counting it (and I may need to in case I don't reach my goal!!)


I was very lucky to have Ann come visiting me over March Break. We headed down to the beautiful city of Saint John, which is the largest city in New Brunswick (followed by Moncton and then Fredericton). Saint John is said to be the most "Irish" city in Canada, and the downtown area was certainly a great place to visit. Ann and I were lucky to see old Cabbagetown friends in their great city.

We got to witness the great tidal changes, the Market (with a mediocre Lobster roll - which reminds me I should add a Lobster Roll Scale to my bucket list!), our friends' BEAUTIFUL abode, the Loyalist Cemetery, cool Army/Surplus/Antique finds, and lovely, lovely bar scene. Have a great Irish fish-quality-inspector as a friend for life!

We were also lucky enough to taste sturgeon - a fish once at the risk of extinction because of caviar overfishing, but now on the way back up in New Brunswick. And lemme tell you, a smoked Sturgeon is fantastic!!


I really enjoyed our visit to Saint John. And alway great to spend time with my mom Ann!!
