It sure is foggy on the east coast. We woke up on Day 12 to more fog and light rain. As a last minute change, we decided to visit the Fortress of Louisbourg before heading off to Moncton.
The Fortress of Louisbourg is another Canadian Historic site. The original settlement started in 1713, and became a major commercial fishing hub, and fortress by the French. The original buildings/fort were all destroyed but rebuilt in the 1960's to accurately replicate what it would have looked like.
I love this kind of stuff...it's a living museum so we can tour the buildings, see how people lived, and buy bread made in the original bakery.
We finished the tour around 12:00, and then made the 5 hour trip to Moncton.
In Moncton I had my first lobster dinner with 1 lbs of muscles at a restaurant called Catch 22.
The picture speaks for itself !
That is one large plate of seafood!
ReplyDeleteAlso did you talk to the around the world people?? Their website is horribly laid out and I am disappointed there is no static version of their map.... but they are from Spain!
