Yesterday, August 23, we traveled from the Green Park Provincial Park near Port Hill, PEI, to the Camper City RV park here in Moncton, New Brunswick. We stopped at the Gateway Village and Information Center just before crossing the 8-mile-long Confederation Bridge linking PEI with New Brunswick. Here we had one last Cow's ice cream (sob! it's so good!) and bought a few last-minute souvenirs. The bridge is still magnificent and we had some sad feeling about leaving this beautiful and peaceful island.
After we got in and set up at our park here in Moncton, Patrice and I went to dinner at Montana's--I craved (crove?) some baby back ribs. The menu called the ribs I ordered "back ribs" and they were excellent. Patrice had an apple walnut salad with shrimp skewers and pot-roast soup. They were great tasting when they arrived, but it took forever! They knew it, and deducted 40 percent from the tab because we waited so long--without us asking. We really appreciated that.
Today, Friday, was a take-care-of-business day in Mocton, New Brunswick. I got an oil change and tire rotation done this morning at Walmart and did some grocery and equipment shopping at the Atlantic Superstore, Costco, and The Source (old Radio Shack). Patrice did laundry while making potato salad (to use those great PEI potatoes that will not be allowed into the states). We made some RV park reservations for both rigs for the next few days--difficult because of the Labor Day weekend. We will dry camp Friday at the Elks Club in Lancaster, New York, and we were able to get into the Kenisee Lake RV Park in Jefferson, Ohio. We met Jerry and Marge there in May, and started our trip to the Maritimes with them.
Tomorrow on to St. Leonard NB.
