Well, here it is Sept. 11th...

My last two blog entries;  it is time to end our journey and reflect on all we have seen, learned and experienced.  We left Madawaska and Edmundston quite full of wonderful food made by Allen's siblings.  We had "Pot an Pot" which is a traditional Acadian meal of beef, chicken, and pork simmered with a crust in between layers for 6 hours.  It was delicious, and set the tone for our next stop at an Acadian Villiage near Caroquet, New Brunswick. It showed the way Acadians would have lived during different centuries, with people doing the tasks like making roof shingles, farming, spinning, weaving.  All were dressed in the traditional French garb of their era.  We had a traditional Acadian lunch while there.  It was very informative for me! 
     Next we stayed on Prince Edward Island and enjoyed some great biking on the Confederation Trail.  Next blog--Halifax.
