10.11.13 Friday Frederickton, NB to Lewiston, ME

I feel like we kind of cheated New Brunswick.  There is so much to see here and it’s like we are only using it as a corridor to somewhere else.  But still we have tasted of the beauty of the mountains.  There are magnificent vistas to see when reaching the top of a mountain on the highway. You can see a kaleidoscope of yellows, oranges and reds mixed among the deep green that spread into eternity.  Mixed among the colors are the deep blue of the lakes as they reflect the lighter blue of a flawless sky.

New Brunswick is beautiful.

 

 

 

Lake Charles

 

Only 26 Klicks to go.

 

 

 

Saint John River

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our last town in Canada is Woodstock.  Here we will exchange our currency and make ready to check through customs.  While in a drug store a lady asked if we had seen the bridge at Hartland.  She told us about it and said it was only a few miles up the road. Hey, we have plenty of time…Let’s go.

 

That is one long bridge

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The customs agent was firm but polite.  Then he saw the license plate “TWOGTHR”.  He got a smile on his face and said “Twogether huh?  How long have you two been married?”  I answered “Forty-six years this coming January.”  At that point the firmness mellowed and he said “Living the good life eh?”  A few more questions and we were on our way.  Now we are back home in the USA.

It's time to say farewell.

Better get into the proper lane.

Waiting for our turn at customs.

 

But the feeling is bitter-sweet.  We have seen such beautiful countryside and never once met a rude person.  We really hate to leave Canada behind.  But it will still be there if we ever decide it’s time to visit again.

 

Although we crossed a border the landscape continues to give a color show that only autumn can bring.  Not to be outdone Maine shows off her colors which became more brilliant in the sunset.   Tonight we will reside in Lewiston and tomorrow visit with friends and family that have relocated here from PA.
