We had a good simple breakfast at the Governor's Mansion Inn (free with stay and egg and bacon breakfasts are a small extra fee). Then we were off to Metepenagiag Heritage Park.
Metepenagiag is named for and run by the local Mi'Kmaq peoples. The significance of the area is that it has been inhabited for the last thirty centuries. Archeological digs were conducted since the 1970's, which supported this claim. The center had great architecture, a good video, and an engaging interpretative center. Unfortunately it was raining heavily so we did not go on the cultural walk.
We then met up with my Mom and her husband and went to lunch. Then it was down to Moncton where we met up with an old friend at the Tide and Boar. My wife had the burger and I had the Tide and Boar boards, which were delicious but I couldn't finish it all. Next time it would be a great sharing item for two.
The next day we flew home with no incidents so this is my last post of the Maritimes till the next time I go back.
