I arrived in Moncton a couple of days ago and I am pretty much settled in now.  My flight got in quite late Thursday night and I have been adjusting to the time change and climate change for the last couple of days.  🙂  I am staying with a very nice couple who have made me feel right at home here in Moncton.

Yesterday was my first day exploring Moncton and I think my favorite thing I have seen so far are the old buildings they have here, especially the churches.  I went to the market they have on Saturday and saw many different things.  Then I walked around downtown a bit.  I also saw a town across the Petitcodiac River called Riverview.

I took a few photos of the Petitcodiac river and in some of those photos you can see downtown Moncton in them.  I took the pictures from the Riverview side of town.

What is really neat about this river is that it is one of the few rivers in North America that has a tidal bore within it.  This is a wave or series of waves that basically run upstream the river.  This is due to the extreme tides from the Bay of Fundy.

Pretty Cool!

What I like about this river is that it looks like chocolate….a definite plus in my books! 🙂
