This morning we did our last 60 kms down the coast of Quebec and crossed the bridge into Campbelton New Brunswick. Here we stopped at the tourist information for a new load of maps and magazines.
A stop at the blacksmith shop gave him a chance to show us how they would make nails.
The grist mill was very modern for its time, it was quite fascinating inside and still can work today, with only water power.
Once you cross the covered bridge you travel from the 1800's to the 1900's.
The old hotel was the host today for a wedding, people were being driven up to the front in the old cars.
They had the Irving Gas station all set up, it was very well done.
We arrived in Caraquet where we are staying for the next three nights and after lunch decided to go to the Acadian Village while Dad had a rest.
The Village has its grand opening tomorrow so we got in for half price today and the grounds were quiet. The Acadian characters spoke very good english and told us all about the lifes of the first acadians in the area.
Most of the homes had these outside ovens. The gardens were all planted, cows in the meadows, chickens in the coops and pigs in the pens.

As you can tell we had another wonderful day, going for a drive up the Shippagan tomorrow.
