On To Canada!

We took some medical equipment up to Miramichi, New Bruswick, Canada. After we caught up on our sleep, we went in search of some sights to see. :o) A huge storm had moved into Miramichi (with hurricane force winds predicted) so we quickly left that area and headed towards Price Edward Island. On the way to PEI, we stopped at a quaint little shop that makes all-natural homemade soap. They did free demonstrations. We really enjoyed looking around and seeing the demo. We were the only spectators there that were not French-speaking, so we got our very own interpretor! They had a bubble blowing contest (using Bubblicious, not soap) and the one with the biggest bubble received a free bar of soap. Since we were sitting in our own little corner they just had Tim and I compete against each other. :o)


They let us sample some of the soap at these handy dandy sinks.

This was where they held the demonstration. I was so busy watching and listening that I totally forgot to take pictures DURING the presentation.

This is the pan of "Rose Soap" they made while we watched. It will take almost a month for the soap to harden and be ready for them to sell. (They do cut it into smaller pieces). If you talk to me in the near future remind me to tell you a funny story about the large block of soap (it is not "blog apprpriate").

We saw so many quaint little towns with museums and lots of walking trails...it was hard to pass them up, but we had limited time and I REALLY wanted to get to PEI.
