Day 27 – Canada: Walking on Bridges and Through the Past

June 24, Wednesday 2009 DAY 33
We all got some warm showers today! We found a place with nice warm showers…. It was nice since our hot water tank in the motorhome isn’t big enough for the whole family, so some of us get cold showers. We all were thrilled except for Orin (8) and Eli (6) who said that they had, had showers three days ago, and Teyauna who loves baths, but screams the moment the shower goes on, even if she is still dry.

We just walked across the longest covered bridge in the world! We had to walk ’cause our MoHo is too tall. And Teyauna was very happy to get some exercise out. We were not pleased however, when we came back all tired to have mom and dad tell us that we were supposed to have gotten a little booklet on the other side on things to do in New Brunswick. . . . We never went back to go get it.

Later, we went to a place called King’s Landing where we walked around a village set in the 1800’s with people who were dressed up and had wagon rides and all kinds of things to learn about like the saw mill and the wood mill. We were also really happy ’cause it was supposedly the first sunny day in six days. There was even a little old fashioned general store that sold treats, hats, and other things that were sold in that time period.

The houses were also really interesting to look at and the people inside told you about the people who used to live there. It was amazing to see how efficient they could be even without electricity and other modern things! Altogether it was quite educational and fun.
