Our second wwoofing experience (world wide opportunities on organic farms) is on the edge of the Bay of Fundy on the New Brunswick side. We are with the Dionne family and I must admit it has been rare that we have been the "seniors" amongst our new friends on this trip. However, Curtis and Rachel are a young, artistic couple who have chosen the relaxed eastern life style over the western hustle and bustle. They have two gorgeous kids, Axel, 4, and Iris, 2, ...

Although I thoroughly enjoyed standing on the same shore, only now that we are in Canada do I truly feel that I have all America behind me. Interesting fact though, as we venture east into Canada we will be going even further from home than we have been yet. At Key West, the very southernmost tip of the continental United Stat...
