We just arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick this evening. I have been in Toronto for a week (including a couple of days at Niagara Falls). Mrs. PhotoJim came out to join me last Friday.
Everybody knows about Niagara Falls and almost everybody knows about Toronto so I will let you do your own research on those places.
New Brunswick, on the other hand, is a little off the beaten track as tourist destinations go. My first impression is that this is unwarranted. Saint John is beautiful. In fact, it reminds me in many ways of the much more popular (as tourist destinations go) St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador. (Yes, the two cities share nearly identical names but the New Brunswickers always spell theirs with “Saint”, never “St.”.)
We had a good pizza for supper just across the street from the apartment we are renting (yet another similarity with St. John’s; that’s what we used as accommodation there, too). We are right downtown in the thick of things, a couple of blocks from the famous Saint John market and two blocks from the harbour.
The Bay of Fundy is just metres away… and with it are found the world’s highest tides. We shall see them first-hand soon.
