The ride today was through a mix of terrain from rolling hills on a major highway to farmland and seaside towns on a much quieter secondary road. Today, August 15th was Acadia day in New Brunswick and along the way there were many houses in the rural areas festooned with red, white and blue with the Acadia Star in a prominent spot. And in one of the seaside towns we rode through it was a full blown festival going on. Nancy and Dave basically followed a highway route that was very straight forward while Heidi followed google maps exactly which, although 5k shorter, took her through some major mud puddles. We finished the ride by going through the middle of Shediac and again, the Acadia day festivities were rocking on. As is our custom the day before a rest day we go out for a low key meal but the party was only getting started in Shediac...the Main Street was closed to traffic on our way to the restaurant. We were able to navigate around the party and had a nice meal. There was a singer at the restaurant playing songs from the 70s and surprisingly was able to play all of our requests...including a Valde song. Anyone remember Valde. So Day 76 is done.
Cheers
Dave and Nancy

Do I remember Valdy! Are you kidding. Saw him play live at my high school in Victoria. "Rock and roll song". Obscure singer but well known at the time on the west coast. Enjoy the fun in NB!
