Day Visit to Fredericton

(Delayed posting. Visited during summer 2024) 

I went to Fredericton for a day trip so that I could see a friend I have known since grade seven. We visited the Fredericton Farmers Market which has a fantastic variety of foods, homemade items, and liquids. I picked up some nice cheese and a locally made wooden spoon.


Here is a picture of the inside area. They also have a night market here.


After a comforting meal at The Happy Baker we tried to visit the museum downtown, but it was closed. Then we visited a Salvation Army to give my friend a good excuse to shop while I looked at books and clothes and came out a winner on both counts. 

Next was a visit to the 400 acre Odell park in the heart of Fredericton's South side. There were lots of well tended paths in open areas and wide trails in the forested areas. We met a fellow who was building a fern covered wall populated by species from all across New Brunswick. He also used to live in my friend's apartment complex. Small world.

Below are a sample of pictures taken in the park.





To round out the day I treated my friend to Japanese food, by the river, at Naru Sushi. It was a perfect end to a great day catching up and seing the places they liked to go to.
