Day 1 -
We had an easy standby flight this am non-stop to Bangor, Maine. Our Taurus rental car was given away - evidently they are a hot commodity for rental travel. We had to settle for a Cadillac STS - fire engine red for the same price - oh, well. Maine and coastal New Brunswick are beautiful - like Northern Michigan with an French accent.
Our final stop this afternoon was Sussex, NB, Cannada. This town is an hour north of St. John and is becoming know for the murals painted on many of the downtown building. Although the murals look like vintage works of art, the project was started only about six years ago presenting historical aspects of Sussex. Artists from around the world were commissioned to do the work. It beats the hell out of painted cows, pigs, or horses.
Dinner and drinks were appreciated at McGinty's Irish Pub before crashing this evening. Golf will be played in New Brunswick tomorrow then off to Nova Scotia.
A quick note: We are keeping an eye on Irene hoping she takes her time coming up the eastern coastline.
