From the land of the Bluenose.....the day had arrived and this bouy was sum happy youz. A month off and the first thing to do was make our way to the border crossing at Woodstock which we arrived promptly on time at..... St. Stephen......um! Crossed the border and spent the night in the first hotel that we came to. Sure Dennis Bates from that Hitchcock movie was lurking around outside. Felt sort of phys-co that stay.
Next morning it was off to Bangor then Augusta then Freeport for some shopping.

Four hours of pounding pavement and store floors and we had not purchased a thing. Seemed like to this bouy at least that the only thing that changed from store to store was the label on the clothes. Did have a great cup of coffee though.
Then drove to Augusta to Manchester.....no not the one that is home to Man U in the Premier League and stayed the night. Next Day Snowy acted as our guide dog to her place and we did the dew in front of th fire pit planning the next days dig with the crew.
The location for the dig was very scenic indeed

Can't say I know who that fool was with a Bud in his hand at 8 in the morning!
Photo edited so beer disappears but not the bouy drinking it.

Once home it was a quick unpack of the beer and the pizza that we ordered. Come Wednesday night it is time to pack once again as this bouy is off to the UK for his yearly 2 weeks of digging and Guinness!
