day 4 - To Moncton

Driven today: 787 Km
Total driven:  1767 Km

We walked up to a rainy day with temperature of 14 C, almost 20 C colder than a couple of days ago in Ottawa.  We spent pretty well the whole day driving in the rain.  We started by crossing the St. Lawrence just outside Quebec city



Then the TransCanada highway follows the river on the south shore for quite a while


Shortly after we got to the Appalachians we saw quite a few moraines ( glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock).  They look like funny little very steep hills.



Later on we crossed the St. John river, still foggy and rainy


One thing that called out attention is that the warning signs for moose are everywhere in New Brunswick.  We had seen a few since we left Ottawa but here they are everywhere


 
And since we did not see anything else there you have more river and road pictures



Finally we got Moncton and riht away we went to look for Mr. Lobster.  Apparently I got Miss Lobster and Brenda got Mr. Lobster


She was not happy because I made her wait until I took the picture



But she was very happy halk and hour later when she had demolished her poor lobster


And you can tell we are in Acadian territoty,  This house with a bunch of Acadian flags was just outside the restaurant


Tomorrow Prince Edward Island
