New England Cruise

The end of September and first part of October, we went on another cruise with Jackie and Steve Duerden.  We had never really been through the northeast and had always talked about going to see the fall leaves - although we saw some beautiful ones when we lived in Chicago. 

This was a little 10-day cruise starting in New York and ending in Quebec.  We stopped at Newport, Rhode Island; Boston; St. John's Bay, New Brunswick; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. 

Leaving New York harbor was very delightful.  This is quite a city.

We spent a day looking through all the mansions in Newport Beach, Rhode Island and even took a little time to walk the shoreline.  Wow, some summer homes for the Vanderbilts and other wealthy families.  This little harbor is typical of the ones we visited throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Looking out over Cadillac Mountain to the shore.

There were plenty of lighthouses to see.  We also go to watch them fishing for oysters.  The fishermen have two long poles with a rake on the end and they use them like chop sticks to bring up the oysters from the bottom of the bay.  No Canada trip would be complete without Mounted Police in their red uniforms.  

On Prince Edward Island, we visited the Edison museum and the Green Gable House.  Theron enjoyed sitting on a deck chair replica from the Titanic museum we went to and making his famous salute at a Canadian Citadel.

 With my love walking down lover's lane from the story of Anne of Green Gables.
