Worked in St. John last night. It was okay. The bar we worked in was uber tiny, and it was a real streach to fit all our stuff in. I didn’t get to see to much of St. John, but of what I did see, I guess it might be a fun town. It really smelt when we rolled in, and we think it was becuase of the paper mill in town (or sand factory as some folks like to refer to them). The one thing I did notice about downtown St. John is the large number of skateboarders. Every kid that passed us was on a board. People were grinding and jumping off the many stairs and rails that dot the hilly city.
We got out of dodge today and made the drive to Moncton. It was another clear, sunny day, and i suggested we talk a detour and swing down the Fundy Drive, and actually see some of the country. It’s been a lot of work, drive, work, and all we have seen is 4 lane highway. But I was out voted. I’ve seen it before, but I thought it might be nice for others to actually see what this province has to offer. C’est la vie. We are shacking up at the Chateau Moncton, that sits on the shore of the Petitcodiac River and provides a spectacular view of its famous tidal bore. I got a room with a river view (*note – turns out on later review, this is the same hotel that was the scene of a tragic incident a week or so back. A young boy was found dead as his mother jumped to her death from a 5th floor suite. I’m in 518).
Work tomorrow night in Moncton at Igloo, then Sunday night in Fredericton. The drive home begins on monday, and I should be back in Toronto, Ontario late on Tuesday.
I have been unable to post pictures with these entries, so when i get home I will be adding photos to these posts, so get ready to read back to see some shots.
Cheers.
