I know nothing about Moncton. I know no history, either political or economic. We left at nine o'clock this morning after arriving yesterday afternoon at two. I am definitely not an expert. But I do know a few things. First observation is that the people are friendly. Every person we passed on our walk looked at us and said hello. And these people like to eat. The downtown area is full of restaurants. Ken found four good restaurants on the Internet and we found several more when driving around downtown.
We spotted several major construction projects under way too, both in the town center and also out by the restaurant outside of town. What is fueling this construction I wonder? Our hotel itself was new too and lovely.
I do know some things though. The city is on a river leading to the Bay of Fundy. Even though thirty miles from the Bay, the tide still impacts the river. It is quite a sight to watch the river reverse it's flow. And Moncton is not the capital of New Brunswick. Although Canada has both French and English as national languages, Moncton is the only truly bi-lingual city. In other words, every one can speak both English and French. Nifty huh!!
