prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

(RV 12) Prince Edward Island, Moncton, Fredericton, Edmundston, Quebec, and Ottawa.

In those days. 1986. You had to take a ferry to get to Prince Edward Island. There is now a bridge. How soft! We drove around the island. Beautiful place. We stopped and took a tour of the Anne of Green Gables House.

I remember the crowd of Japanese tourists going through the house with us.

In a few days we were in Quebec. We stopped in Moncton. We stopped in Fredericton. (capitol of New Brunswick). See this link. We stopped a couple of days in Edmundston. Watched a group of local people playing boule ball on a special court. Edmundston was on the border with the United States. We drove over to the United States to visit. It seemed like a nice place. We agreed to visit there someday.

Then on to Quebec. We took a narrated tour of Quebec. There was one couple on the bus that only spoke French. The guide would give a lecture in English and then repeat it in French. The tour went down a street said to be the oldest street in North America.

When we pulled into our Quebec RV park we had to wait for a teen ager to show up who could speak English and check us in. We were in  stores where all the papers and magazines were in French.

On to Ottawa.


The changing of the guard ceremony was impressive and colorful.
