The drive from Pictou, Nova Scotia to St. John, New Brunswick was the most beautiful to date, with lots of yellow, orange, deep red and even purple leaves. We made a few aborted attempts to get a good view of the Bay of Fundy, but no luck.
We stayed in St. John, which is the oldest incorporated city in Canada (1785) and the second largest city in the maritime provinces (70,063). Despite that, it only has one craft brewery – though the bartender at Big Tide said there will probably be four more opening in the next year. We ended up eating, there, too. Great food! There was also an Irish bar, but…it was closed on Sunday. Britt’s – a British style pub – next door was open, though, and had a large selection of area craft brews and NFL football on the TV (no Broncos, though).
