We have had a wonderful time the past two weeks visiting DJ and Susan at Mt Allison and Kenyon.
While at Mt A Don, DJ and I began exploring the Bay of Fundy - specifically Hopewell Rocks. It is the site of the world's highest tides and has amazing rock formations as a result of the tides

We also attempted to find a decent restaurant in the Sackville/Moncton area - still searching , hung out at his empty dorm ( everyone was home for Canadian Thanksgiving) and caught the George Clooney Movie ( review: very good/ very depressing). Our drive home was beautiful but very long.. aided by massive amounts of caffeine on my part.. which resulted in lack of sleep upon arrival home. Didn't know Mountain Dew had such a long half-life!
Last weekend I flew out to see Susan. Both the trip out and back were eventful for a high doses of turbulence (am now friends with an executive on Wall Street who clung to my hand the entire flight to NYC) , checking into the equivalent of the BATES MOTEL for all of 15 minutes, finding very nice staff at the local Holiday Inn (will pay it forward) and getting stranded in PA on my return trip.
It was all worth it. Susan and I had a great weekend: hanging out at her new house on campus, meeting her roommates ( LOVE Sarah Bush) , attending the annual Acapella concert, and making 4 beautiful apple pies for her Professors who wrote scholarship recommendations.
Looking forward to December when both DJ and Susan will be home for two weeks!
