Now hear this...no slagging of New Brunswick!

Now I didn't want to be doing this, but a certain acquaintance (lets call her Ms L) recently stated, based on limited experience, that New Brunswick "is very boring." That is so not true that I had to drop everything and dig up and edit and post some photos. (This saved me from doing some actual work I was feeling obliged to undertake.) Of course Ms L also stated "I think I'll be able to see the ocean from Moncton", a conjecture that does not enhance her credibility. Finally, our correspondent casually implied that the New Brunswick lifestyle (somewhat leisurely) is suitable for "old people". Well, OK, that part's true, but you can be old and leisurely at any age.

You can hang around at Deer Island...


You can watch these cool little ferries they have that are actually a small tugboat lashed to a barge...incidentally, this ferry is passing right over a peculiar phenomenon called "The Old Sow" which is reported to be the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere...not very active at the time of the photo. The green point on the right, quite close by, is Eastport, Maine, so I don't understand why Stephen King has never made use of the Old Sow.



Or you can take your grandma birdwatching...



All these delights and more await you in the very unboring province of New Brunswick. (In winter, not so much.)
