Maritimes

August 4 to 21, 2009

Aug 5: a day at louise & pierre's place.

the great thing about the maritimes is that I have family here and there, and in true maritime hospitality we were invited over to spend the day with them.

a quick stop to do the earthcache: "A ERRATIC GLACIAL BOULDER EARTHCACHE"

This Glacial boulder is on the grounds of UNB Fredericton Campus. This was carried by ice from Northwestern New Brunswick during the Glacial period . Excavated from the campus and placed here in recognition of the pioneers studies of New Brunswick.
