Fredricton...capital of New Brunswick!

Twee nachten in de hostel waren genoeg om deze kleine stad te verkennen! De eerste avond werden we uitgenodigd door de 'uitbater' van het etablissement voor een driegangen kreeftenmenu (lobstermenu) in het beste restaurant van de stad voor een vriendenprijsje. The guy said it was 'the Number One chef of the Maritime Provinces'...we knew better but we accepted the invitation! We zaten die avond aan de tafel met één amerikaan uit Seattle, één chinees die zichzelf Wolf noemde, één Braziliaan, vier Zweden, één Roemeen, enkele Canadezen, één indiër en één Texaan met Mexicaanse roots!














It's pretty crazy if a chinese guy who calls himself Wolf explains 'How To Eat' Lobster to a Brazilian guy! We had a lot of fun with this colourful bunch of students...I still have a long way to go if I want a beard like Weston! Fredricton is a little town next to the St. John river! We had one day to visit the city and that was enough to get a global picture of the capital. We had a nice walk through the small center and we crossed the river over the old railroad bridge. Did you know that Fredricton has 80 km of hikingtrails in and around the center? Crazy...



Unfortunately the weather changed in the afternoon, luckely I could take this picture right before the dark snowclouds took our shadow...Time for a visit at the Beverbrook Art Gallery where we couldn't take any pictures! The Tom Benner collection was awesome and when we left the museum...the sun was shining again.

Goodnight - goodmorning folks, tomorrow you can read the story about our amazing discoveries in Quebec city! I can already tell you one little detail...Peper In De Reet!

Kisses
