The Colonel is alive!

Hello all

This will be quick, we're at a visitor's centre in New Brunswick. We're on the road and we're safe! And for those of you who don't know already, we're engaged! Hooray!!! The Colonel gave us a bit of trouble out near Brockville ON, but we spent the night in Tincup and got the master cylinder (what powers the brakes!) replaced and were back on the road. We visited with our friends Tim and Mike in Montreal for lunchtime steamies yesterday. We spent last night in Rivieres du Loup, QC, parked illegally on the waterfront. It was beautiful and luckily we didn't get woken up by police telling us to move at 3am ;) We just crossed into New Brunswick and are on our way to Grand Falls. We hope to stay in Alma or the Bay of Fundy National Park tonight. I'll post photos as soon as I find some place that offers wireless internet!!! There is a definite lack of Starbucks on our route ;)

Love to you all!
xoxo

  1. Grand Falls! Mom comes from near there. If you follow teeny hwy 108 east from Grand Falls, you'll see a little town called New Denmark. My grampa's brother still runs the auto body shop there (but you might not want to drive that highway in the Colonel; it's scenic and foresty, but also a poor quality road.) Mom would love to hear that you were near her hometown.

  2. I didn't know that! Well now I know who to go to if we break down near there on our way back ;)
