I dunno the same things you dunno....


The title is one of my favorite expressions...it is a line taken from a Corner Gas song.

I dunno....

-Why I can find NB potatoes in Saint John, but only PEI ones in Fredericton.

-Why strawberries are cheaper in Saint John then they are in Fredericton.

-Why gas is cheaper in Saint John then in Fredericton'

(That is how I saw things this week)

Yes, I have been to Saint John ...actually Kevin and I went to St.Martins. We left Fredericton on the day the humidex was to reach 43 degrees. I dressed in a lightweight top and skirt....took my straw hat and lots of sunscreen. On the off chance there would be a cool breeze on the coast....I took my jean jacket.

It was a lovely drive to St.Martins. When we arrived it was cooler....and foggy. Very foggy. I put on my jean jacket and we went to explore the caves. After about 30 minutes, I returned to the car while Kevin continued to explore and take pictures. I was freezing. I have no idea what the temperature was ...but we stopped at the mall and I bought a pair of pants to wear for the rest of the trip.

I love Saint John.....I always have. It totally amazes me that you can leave a hot humid Fredericton, drive an hour or so ...and arrive to such a different climate. It is always a nice surprise.

St. Martins is a great place to visit. Next time you come to the coast, remember to bring along your insulated clothing! HA! Oh Camp, you must have you forgotten what it's like to live near the ocean!
I dunno either.
