  • New Brunswick Museum

    We won’t bore you with most of the stuff in the museum. Just the pictures of Kerri posing.

    image

    She was more excited about being in the jaw of a whale than she was about being a moth.

    image

    She was very puzzled by the art.

    image

    The art was a bunch of inscribed silver platters mounted on the wall. The text in the one above reads “dear curator: it’s okay, I don’t understand this art either.” We generally agreed with the sentiment, but it was still a rather boring exhibit.

    image

    Some of them used nasty language that we would never repeat.

    image

    This taxidermist needs more practice.

  • Mansion

    We spent the last night at an old shipbuilder’s mansion.

    image

    This is the living room.

    image

    But that’s the public one. This is our private sitting room.

    image

    It wrapped around the corner to a small kitchen.

    image

    This is our bedroom.

    image

    The bathroom won’t fit in one shot. This is the bathtub.

    image

    Around the corner is the shower.

    image

    And on the other side is an absurd amount of empty space for no reason.

    image

    It had an extraordinary view.

    image

    It was slightly better without the rain.

    image

    But of course the view is best from the chairs.

  • Irving Nature Park

    Irving Nature Park is just outside of St. John. It was very pretty.

    image

    It’s extra pretty now, because Kerri wasn’t paying enough attention to notice when we got back into New Brunswick, so now she needs to make up for lost opportunities for aarteioustiicneess.

    image

    Thus there may be more aarteiousticneiess than you think is strictly necessary.

    image

    But this is Kerri’s last chance to hurt your eyes.

    image

    There was also a maze, which we failed to get lost in.

    image

    It wasn’t like the High Park Labyrinth, it did have choices. But none of those choices led to dead ends. Everything interconnected, so any path you chose was correct.

     

    image

    So Matt figured out the way very easily.

  • Reversing Rapids

    The reversing rapids are rapids that reverse.

    image

    When you go there at low tide, they are flowing one way.

    image

    Then for many hours, they continue flowing the same way. It is a very long show.

    image

    But finally, at high tide, they flow the other way. Which you can totally tell from the picture. Right?
