We left at 9am on a bus tour of St John, I have to admit this is a nifty city…..if you don’t have to drive in it. We went after diesel yesterday after lunch and got lost. One stop was at the downtown City Market, I was impressed by how active & colorful it was. Judy did a little shopping while I checked out the fresh seafood, or whatever this stuff was.
We stopped at the reversing falls where the water depth changes from 100’ to 30’ due to an underwater ledge. When the tide comes in and out the rapids go in a different direction. You can see the commernts are not afraid and enjoy riding the water to catch fish that are stirred up.
The last stop was at the Carleton Martello tower built during the War of 1812 (the Canadians call it the American British War) to defend St John. The fort has never fired or taken a shot. We watched the school next door as the exiting kids were all excited, today was the last day of school.
