After leaving the stunning Acadia National Park, Dave, Murphy and I made our way south to Scarborough, just south of Portland, Maine. I loved this town!

Dave and I have heard so much about the Maritimes, especially Nova Scotia, we were very excited to visit. However, we had one last stop in Quebec before arriving in the Maritimes. The town of Saint-Roch-des-Aulmaies. As we both love to cycle, Dave found part of the Trans Canada multi-use trail right outside our campground.
