Our goal to see the New England States, and the Canadian Maritime Provinces is finally starting to happen. We crossed from Maine into New Brunswick on I95, and the upper left photo was typical of the scenery, as we drove east toward Nova Scotia. During our 4 summers in Alaska, we crossed the US/Canadian border countless times, so it's no big deal to us. This crossing was very routine, with the usual questions being asked. After we crossed the border, the first order of business was to exchange US for Canadian currency. Wouldn't you know it, the exchange rate has fallen recently, and yesterday, I got $1.04 Canadian for $1.00 U.S. Just a couple of weeks ago, the rate was around $1.16. We stopped at the New Brunswick Visitors Center, and picked up a whole bunch of literature regarding attractions, camping, etc. It's easy to see, that we're not going to see everything, there just isn't enough time. Our plan is to first drive the southern loop of Nova Scotia, taking 2 or 3 days. When we get back near Halifax, we have a reservation at a Passport America RV Park for several days. When there, we will be able to explore Halifax and the surrounding area a little more thoroughly with the jeep. Today, we will get our first look at the Atlantic, as we get into Nova Scotia, and head south along the Coast.
