Camp Medley and Canada Day

So 2 days in one and its late already! Camp Medley turned out to be ok and there was a bit of downtime involved though a lot of small talk with the cousellors who were between 16 and 22 years of age. I don't think that they had any sort of an idea of what we were supposed to be doing there but we joined in the activities as best we could. The camp wasn't busy and they had less than 1/3 capacity so I think they were a bit bored themselves. The time passed relatively quickly and we were collected at 11 today by the lovely Tom and Muriel to celebrate Canada day with them.

We headed back to St John with a picnic on the way. The camp is a 1.5 hour drive away but the scenic route took longer. We headed into town and joined in the festivities. We got free Pepsi t shirts one courtesy of a quick moving Muriel, and went to the flea market- no fleas though. We were taken to the New Brunswick Museum and the Loyalist house, one of the oldest in town. It reminded me of the Rectory in Birr and had many of the same features.

Then back to Muriel and Toms for dinner. What a treat awaited us. Jonathan and I were given a lobster each and taken through breaking it down for eating, quite a skilled job, Jonathan enjoyed the chance to attack something with a lethal looking knife but I have told him that he will not be eating like this at home! We headed back into town but because of the fog there was no fireworks so it is now past midnight and time for bed. Sailing tomorrow and packing and then off to Montreal to rest!
