Back to the USA

We left for Maine about 8am. Windy,overcast & cool outside. The plan was to stop somewhere about half way to Boothbay. At about 1 pm an hour east of the St. Steven,NB/Callis,ME border crossing we saw a take out seafood restaurant crowded with people . Ossie's Clam Shack. Made a U turn, pulled into the parking lot and had a wonderful take out lunch. Carol ordered the bucket of fried, whole belly clams and I had the fish & chips. "Real" fish fillets, not the type where it's mostly bread. We shared a vanilla soft ice cream for desert. This may have been our best Canada seafood meal.
Customs went well. About a 15 minute line. Basic questions about alcohol, tobacco, meats, veggies, etc. Didn't confiscate anything from us like they did when we crossed from British Columbia last year.
Took a rest break in Maine. Both napped for an hour then we just continued on. Spend the night at the Camden Hills State Park near Camden which is only about an hour from Boothbay. Called family to let them know we were back in the States, caught up on e-mail, etc.

Warm & sunny. Finally. We were both tired of the constant winds & cool weather we had in PEI.

The Canada part of this trip was just wonderful. Carol & I agree that the music & dance was the most memorable part of our visit. The street performers in Halifax, the music & dancing at Pictou and Louisbourg, the Scottish Pipers, Drummers & Dancers at Summerside, and the Acadian Festival at Abram-Village. The Canadians we met were just the nicest, most polite and friendly people. Even the drivers were courteous at the times when we clearly didn't know where we were going, were driving slowly, etc. The typical irritating tourist type driving we see so much of in Florida. Only once did someone blow their horn at us. Canadians are very proud of their Country & Province. You see National & Provincial flags everywhere. On homes, cars, churches, offices, etc. You don't see that very much in the US.
We'll be going back to Canada. Prehaps Montreal & Quebec next summer.
