The Sweetest people hail from a wonderful city in the north of NB - Bathurst! After a scenic drive through the province, we arrived in the fair city. What a fantastic chance to meet the Sweeties' families and relax in one of the most picturesque cities ever. I was fascinated by amount of water that is everywhere - rivers, streams, the bay, running water (jokes!). Also cool was the amount of French that was used so effortlessly. Was at a birthday party and people just slipped back and forth between the languages. I was very excited to practice my numbers at the LC and Shoppers (though I was quickly found out to be an English speaker when I couldn't answer back! Oui, j'ai une carte d'Optimum!!)
I was so lucky to have seen so much of the city and surrounding area and to visit with so many fantastic people. I was at the beach, the residential areas, down bay fishing and harbour area, and up (the) river to see the camps.
I was also totally intrigued by the "absence" that seems to abound here. The remnants of the mill, shopping mall, and shops were haunting - though a fantastic site for an end-of-the-world movie, or paint-ball game!
What I might skip on my next visit: the fried clam and choco milkshake combo at the Big D!
Thank you Sweets for a wonderful trip! And with that .... it is off the list!
