My closest channel friend lived in New Brunswick so Joe and I got ourselves over for a gettogether as soon as possible - July 1995.<br /><br />The Canadians could not have been more hospitable - great food, great wine and organised tours of Saint John. <br /><br />It must have once been a beautiful city. But by 1995 it was looking a bit sad... as if the good times had ended. Our friends expected their children to leave for better employment opportunities as soon as they got their university degrees :(Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557515713379617009.post-75987707071674325382011-07-15T21:31:34.893-07:002011-07-15T21:31:34.893-07:00I got to experience fresh lobster on a boat off th...I got to experience fresh lobster on a boat off the coast of Maine many years ago, so I have to agree that when you're where the best are you have to experience it!<br /><br />Sounds like you had a fabulous time even if you over-dosed on lobster! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203286781888444548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557515713379617009.post-61975905516093082052011-07-15T21:05:48.529-07:002011-07-15T21:05:48.529-07:00Judie,

There is a museum in Dorchester called Keillor House--That's Rod's mum's maiden name. We visited there when we toured the eastern provinces and the maritimes several years ago with our cousins from Banff. It was a wonderful trip!!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557515713379617009.post-55233535269202143262011-07-15T18:25:13.398-07:002011-07-15T18:25:13.398-07:00When I was in my 20's, I spent every summer in...When I was in my 20's, I spent every summer in Maine, at a farmhouse on a bluff, overlooking the Penobscot River. The fish man would come around every afternoon with the fresh catch that included lobsters. There is just nothing better on earth than lobster with drawn butter, and corn on the cob.<br /><br />We are going to the Georgia coast next week, and I plan to eat lots of my second favorite seafood--Georgia wild shrimp. Fresh! Never frozen! They are just so tender and sweet that if you ever had some, you would never buy frozen shrimp again--ever!!<br /><br />Florida lobsters are good, but nothing beats a Maine lobster, unless it is maybe a BC lobster!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.com
