 the place is called bread & butter
 eastern european deli

1-(416)-488-0036
 3 hours to kingston to my other brothers
then 10.5 hours the next day
heres the quebec border

i missed the new brunswick sign  but finally arrived in grand falls new brunswick

 this is a beautiful spot.  check out the link for info.   
its a 23 meter falls (the largest in canada east of niagara falls) but it is used for electricity so i could see the gorge but not the falls
i will go back













next day approx 4.5 hours to my destination
on the road again

since i had such a short drive today, i decided to stop at magnetic hill in moncton, NB


 in neutral, my car actually went UP the hill
its so fun i did it 3 times

the pic below shows the hill and the front of my car

the last segment of the journey is confederation bridge

"The Confederation Bridge joins the eastern Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, making travel throughout the Maritimes easy and convenient. The curved, 12.9 kilometre (8 mile) long bridge is the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water, and a decade after its construction, it endures as one of Canada’s top engineering achievements of the 20th century."

theres even a bridge cam on the website..... SO cool

AND, just as im getting on the bridge, i scan the radio for some tunes
i find a station called DOG radio, from halifax nova scotia and the song that comes on is
bowie, rebel rebel.... serious

thats usually how i know that im on the right path

and here i am.....

a long post, but it was a long journey

i will draw a winner for those goodies before my next post
