This morning my mother and I departed on the second leg of this journey. Our final target destination is Bedford, Nova Scotia to spend a few days with my sister and her crew. However, we are taking our time (approximately 4 days) to drive there. We are driving through New England before crossing back into Canada at New Brunswick.
Today we set of bright and early following a quick stop at Tim Hortons to grab coffee. Because we were heading east we had no issues. The border crossing at Cornwall was very quick – there were only 2 cars in line ahead of us. Last weekend in Niagara the signs all said there was a 1 to 2 hour delay at that crossing. Not so in eastern Ontario.
We took a leisurely route across New York state and down through Lake Champlain sticking to secondary roads. Our original intent was to stop for the night in Vermont but the mountain scenery was so gorgeous we just kept driving. By late in the afternoon we realized we were already into Maine. So we are stopped for the night in Bethel, Maine. This is a cute town which we drove around a bit this evening.
Tomorrow – more driving!
