Back through Mahone Bay to return to the US

September 30

As indicated in an earlier post, we stopped in Mahone Bay to walk around the quaint village and get a close look at all the scarecrows.  The whole village seemed to get into the scarecrow festival.











Bonnie discovered the founding families of Mahone Bay 




as well as Anne of Green Gables




I made my own discoveries

When we returned through New Brunswick from Nova Scotia, we stopped in St. John because Bonnie’s paternal grandmother was born and raised in St. John, New Brunswick.  We had the address of her house and were able to find it.  We have earlier pictures of the house, but it has since been updated and modernized a bit.
 





According to family history, Bonnie’s grandmother received a piano as a high school graduation gift.  After graduation, she was accepted at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio and brought the piano with her on the train.  Bonnie and I have that piano and I have refinished and restored it and had new key strikers installed and professionally tuned.  (I’ll just have to get our friend, Christy, to come over and play it for us. J )

We did get into rain the night of September and the whole next day.  So, depending on Joaquin, we may have to alter our route.
