Up at the crack of dawn, a (really nice) pick-up breakfast left out for us by our Bread and Roses hosts, then off for the quick half hour trek to Digby timed to arrive an hour before the 8:00 a.m. ship's departure for Saint John. By 11:00 a.m. we're "back in town" and looking for lunch. Parking downtown Saint John was problematic until rescued by a passer-by providing change for the meter -- and, in the end, lunch at Beatty and the Beastro (!) was not really worth all the effort.
Fortunately the drive through St. Stephen and across the border into Maine and further down the coast was undertaken in the midst of a bright, sunny, if really chilly, day along a beautiful, quite scenic, route.
We arrived at Ken and Janet Martin's house on East Side Road in Addison mid-afternoon and spent much of the rest of the day catching Ken up to date on family history - and looking at some treasures Ken recently uncovered among their mother's effects, including photographs and newspaper clippings, wedding invitations and obituaries.
Good thing we're here until Sunday!
