Fun and Fog

So what can you do when the fog is as thick and deep as snow in a New England blizzard?  We think that St John New Brunswick might be a pretty interesting place.  The campground is in a huge city park: Rockwood.  There are hiking trails, fishing lakes, stables, a restaurant, an arboretum, and miles of beautifully landscaped roads.  Two minutes away from the park  is an industrial zone - odd, but it seems to work.  We set up Hilda and shopped for dinner at a huge supermarket - fresh trout and spinach was the menu.  Then we had a nice campfire and watched the fog come even closer.  Staying dry is impossible!

 This morning we found the City Market and enjoyed seeing the variety of fresh food available.  We should not have had a big breakfast!  So many yummy looking items - I have always loved strolling through markets even when I buy nothing!

From the market we found our way to the Reversing Falls, a phenomenon only found in St John.  The Bay of Fundy and the Saint John River come together and reverse course once a day.  We watched for almost an hour before high tide and saw changes but not the reversal.  Is it another myth like the view from Cadillac Mountain?  Someone has seen it...

   

The fog remained almost all day so we found a movie (Mama Mia All Over Again) and then took a walk through the Public Garden across from the Parkand through   the neighborhood.  

The fog briefly allowed the sun to shine - one hour - and then it was back to fog blankets again.

Tomorrow we are driving North - along the coastline so we are not expecting any vistas!
