Day 4 – Cape Neddick, ME / St. Andrews, NB

We started off the morning at Nubble Lighthouse. It was so pretty! We took several pictures of it in the morning light and then headed on up the road. We stuck along the coast for a little bit but then decided it was just going to take way too long to do that all the way. Stupid traffic lights and slow traffic. So we made our way over to the Freeway and continued north. We drove through some pretty places. We got to the Canadian border just shortly before the sun started to set and crossed into New Brunswick. We made it to St. Andrews while there was still enough sun to see the Passamaquoddy Bay and Bay of Fundy. We stayed at the Fairmont Algonquin (we had two nights comp because of a mixup with a conference the year before). They gave us the nicest room! We had a regular king room with a bathroom that had a jetted tub and separate shower, but it had another room attached. It was a TURRET ROOM (those of you who know me probably know my fascination with turrets in architecture)!!! It was big and had windows 180° around and a fireplace in the middle of the rounded-room and a little kitchenette and a guest bathroom with a shower. They had a fruit plate set out for us and all that gig. We went out to eat and when we came back, the bed was turned down and there was a log for the fireplace and a bucket of ice. We layed on the couch in front of the fireplace before the fire started to go out and then we went to bed.
