Jess was pretty pumped about driving a Dodge Charger.
Fort Beauséjour, my site for thesis. One of the reasons Jess and I drove out to the east coast. The fort is near Sackville, New Brunswick.
It is historically significant for having been the first place that the Acadians were deported from their land.
Old foundations of the pre-existing barracks and other military-use buildings.
Beneath the stone walls are storehouses for food or ammunition.
A vaulted storehouse.

A train had been proposed to carry full sized flagships over land from the Northumberland Strait to the Bay of Fundy, basically across the entire land connecting New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, the British economy crashed just as construction was beginning and the project was halted. The story is exciting to integrate into a proposed design.

After seeing the Fort, we toured the land. These are the Hopewell Rock formations on the Bay of Fundy. Forty foot tides in this area!!! Imagine the water to reach the upper side of the lower concave area of the rocks.
Mud everywhere.

Huh?
All those specks are snails!

A Mexican artist's nest installation.
Roy Staab's temporal installation in the waterfowl park. We met Roy. He is eccentric, and hilarious. His work is also quite interesting and famous.
Me, Jennifer, and Kip. Pheobe taking a rest.
The biggest lobster in the world!

This area used to be occupied by Acadians. They harvested hay from these marsh areas. At this time, they were very adept at creating dikes which maintained a manageable amount of control over the land.
Marshes everywhere.
Sunset over moose-infested lands. While driving this shortcut, we hit so many bugs, it sounded like it was raining constantly. The headlights were black with bugs when we emerged from the highway an hour later.
Near Kamouraska, Québec. Beautiful landscape around here. Overlooking the St. Laurence seaway.
