Bay of Fundy and Hopewell Rocks

We spent the day watching the tide rollout and in. We walked the flower pots when the tide was low and clambered over the rocks to the mud flats where the sea birds feast on the critters deposited in the mud. Saw 4 bald eagles gliding in one piece of air space. The water moved 42 feet today and you need to check the tide schedule before you visit and plan to spend a minimum of 5 hours here to truly appreciate the magnitude of this phenomenon. Moved south along the #114, a curvy newly paved road to Alma, a quaint fishing village. In less than 10 minutes the fog rolled in and consumed the town. We were glad we stopped for the day. New Brunswick is Canada's only bilingual province and it was readily apparent today. C'est magnifique!
