What's Weird and Wonderful To See, Do, Drink and Eat in East Coast Canada? Blueberry ale, for starters.

The map of Canada showing New Brunswick on the East Coast. As you can see New Brunswick meets Maine in the north of the USA.

The ship, reminding you of the seaside location and the importance of shipping.

The Reversing Rapids at low tide. In Fundy Bay the tide rises as high as four stories!

Plenty of culture too.

 History and religions represented by the cathedral and the Jewish msueum.

Problem
I've got interested in the mural (see previous post). I learned that the artist Sean Yoro ("Hula") painted with environmentally friendly oil paint using non toxic vegetable oil. That's just right for Canada, a very outdoorsy place, symbol the maple leaf.

What else is there to do in East coast Canada, away from the well-known cities of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal?

Answer
In New Brunswick, you have missed the painter working at night on the mural in Fundy Bay, but you can watch the videos on line. If you go to the area these are what I put on my wish list:

Streetscape. That's a new word to me. I knew the word landscape and even seascape, but streetscape is a new and rather grand way of describing the panorama of a street scene. This is the junction of Sydney Street and Queen Street.

Sights
Fundy Bay:
In the port see the site where Sean 'Hula' yoro painted a mural. No ladder. The tide lifted him up.

Ale Watching:
Tour of the Pump House Brewery (near City Hall) where you can try nine beers. The best seller is blueberry ale. You can see the online video and watch what looks like blueberries bouncing up and down in the bubbles of the ale. Open seven days a week.
